Charlotte Mason New England

We are a growing network of faith-based educators in the New England states using Charlotte Mason's principles of education in our homes, families, and co-ops. We closely follow the principles of timeless, literature-based education outlined in Charlotte Mason's book Toward a Philosophy of Education.

We exist to provide expanded fellowship opportunities for Christian Charlotte Mason teachers, schools, and co-ops in New England. Our goal is to help local Charlotte Mason families and co-ops find one another and have more opportunities for local connection and group activities.

We use Discord to help members find and connect to one another, for the purpose of coordinating in-person activities while also providing fellowship to mothers who cannot access community as readily, whether due to location or stage of life. We are hosting a four week Summer Mothers' Education Course (2025), and will be reading through Mind to Mind (Karen Glass) together over the 2025-2026 school year. Our Discord server is also evolving to provide teen connection (with parental supervision) for teens who want to talk about books (and probably other things). Our community is growing, but we have members in all New England states.

We host local Charlotte Mason conferences, facilitate an annual mothers' dinner, and are working to create a collaborative annual Year-End program at the end of each school year, hoping to honor graduates as we have them. Past conferences have included "Meet Charlotte Mason" (2024) and "Morning Time" with Cindy Rollins (2025).

We welcome families, mothers of homeschool graduates, up-and-coming homeschool mothers, co-op leaders, and anyone else looking for connection with other Charlotte Mason families and co-ops in the New England states.
