CM Gathering & Book Club – Shelbyville, KY

The Shelbyville CM Together Gathering is a year-round cooperative for Christian homeschool families that are committed to the Charlotte Mason Philosophy of Education. It is our aim to implement the principles and methods of a CM Education, recognizing that every child is born a person; we therefore seek to educate that whole person, not just his mind. This is pursued by cultivating a Christian worldview, developing relations with all of God's creation, and practicing our belief that education is "an atmosphere, a discipline, a life."

We meet Thursday mornings at 9:30a at several parks in the greater Shelbyville area.
