“One more thing is of vital importance; children must have books, living books; the best are not too good for them; anything less than the best is not good enough....”
"Give children a wide range of subjects, with the end in view of establishing in each case some one or more of the relations I have indicated. Let them learn from first-hand sources of information--really good books, the best going, on the subject they are engaged upon. Let them get at the books themselves...books teeming with ideas fresh from the minds of thinkers upon every subject to which we can wish to introduce children. ”

Fieldwork Fridays
“Fieldwork” is essentially nature study. We get out in nature and explore it together! Fieldwork Fridays are a great place to connect with other homeschool families and learn about the Charlotte Mason approach to nature study. This is a relaxed group that welcomes homeschoolers that use any methodology in the home. Charlotte Mason experience and/or application is not needed to enjoy our group, it simply acts as a framework to aid in planning our outings and group activities!
We will meet in the Murray (Calloway County, KY) and/or Paris (Henry County, TN) areas. Please reach out with any questions and if you’d like to help get this group going strong!

Georgetown, Tx
Looking for friends in the Georgetown Texas area! My kids are 7 (boy)
5 (girl) and 1 (girl)! As of writing this in January 2024!
We dropped out of our hybrid school. We have a lot of friends there, but if you don’t go there, you don’t have any time to connect with friends outside of the school because the workload is so large. So we will be fully homeschooling next year but I want my kids to grow and have relationships with other children as they get older! It makes me really sad how hard it is to have solid relationships these days that actually last. Really wanting to find likeminded Bible believing Christians focused on raising their kids with truth, goodness, and beauty to sign kids up with friends to do sports together, open gyms, play and fun! And maybe if we’re studying the same time periods we could also work on school together!

Live Oak Living Academy
At Live Oak Living Academy, we focus on training children how to learn rather than telling them what they should know. Who are we to say that we know everything? Our children were born in God's image just as we were and have the same ability to make connections between subjects. If we do not teach them how to strengthen this ability and learn for themselves, what is to prevent them from believing whatever they are told?
Here, at LOLA, we make it our mission to assist our parents in teaching their children right from wrong, training them to become habitual stewards of good self-discipline, and providing them with ideas in all fields of knowledge.
We seek to develop spiritual, social and academic maturity in young men and women as they move on to whichever path God may lay before them.

Agape Crossing Homeschool Community
Agape Crossing Homeschool Community is a faith-based group of mamas who want to build a meaningful community for ourselves and our children. We are unique in that we are not a homeschool co-op, nor are we a playdate group. We are a true village of families, mothers, friends, and sisters who gather weekly for activities.
Our purpose is community. To serve one another in a way that brings glory to God, as we journey together in providing a home education for our children.
Our Mission is to:
▪️Raise our children according to God’s word
▪️Foster a Christ-centered homeschooling community
where families can connect, learn, and grow together
▪️Create deep, eternal relationships to build each other
up, and encourage each other in words and deeds
▪️Build a safe environment for our children to strengthen
Christ-like character traits, make spirit-led decisions,
and kindle life-long friendships
Understand that we are unified in the Gospel of the Kingdom, but may not be uniform in our beliefs, and all are welcome.
Our Members are vital to the community. The quality of education and fellowship found within the community depends upon our collective level of commitment to/and investment in the group. To that end, members agree to:
▪️Actively participate in activities, attending a
minimum of one per month
▪️Plan or host a minimum of one activity/event per year
▪️NOT share activities/event details with non-members
for any reason. No exceptions. The safety and security
of our community is of the utmost importance.

Skylarks Rise – A Classical Charlotte Mason Community in Connecticut
This group seeks to prioritize Christ-centered community, feasting on living ideas in the classical tradition of Charlotte Mason. We seek fellowship in the pursuit of the knowledge of God, man, and the universe.
This group will adhere to the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, i.e., the Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed. As parent educators, we hold that "God, the Holy Spirit, is Himself the supreme Educator of mankind." (Mason, Parents and Children, 275).
We meet every other week on Tuesdays for lessons during the Fall and Spring Terms. Lesson Days include a group Morning Liturgy followed by Form lessons. The group works off of Ambleside Online's Folk, Hymn, Shakespeare and Plutarch rotations. On "off-weeks" and during Winter Term we schedule hikes and field trips. Mother's will periodically read and discuss Mason's volumes, Parent Review articles, CM books, and participate in CM themed conferences.
