Treasure Valley Charlotte Mason Community (TVCMC)
The Treasure Valley Charlotte Mason Community is a private Facebook group for anyone who is currently using CM educational philosophy in their homeschool AND for those who are just beginning, and even just curious about the Charlotte Mason Method. We accept all faiths and backgrounds, you don't have to be a member of any faith, or a specific church, to join and participate <3 As a heads up, leadership will openly speak about their Christian faith and other members may as well, but *ALL* are welcome! Our events run March - November, and we take a Sabbath break December - February, to give our families time to slow down and our TVCMC Committee time to plan the upcoming year. There are monthly: 1st Friday Nature Journaling, 2nd Tuesday Park Days, 3rd Wednesday Coffee & Conversations (parents only - both philosophical and practical CM conversations!), and we aim for monthly Field Trips (typically on the 3rd or 4th Friday, but that's subject to be flexible as it depends on the venue). We also host an annual CM 101 Event (please see separate CMIC entry) for interested or new to CM homeschoolers. Local CM co-op(s), nature groups, hiking groups, and other groups of interest are encouraged to post and set up events when they have Open Houses / Info Nights. Registrations for the upcoming school year typically occur during April / May, prior to a new school year starting, so please look for those in the spring! Our Facebook page is a great place to connect with local CM families and get plugged in. We also have multiple CM book clubs reading through her volumes, and we always support and encourage parents to join, or start one. If you need assistance with that, please post a question, or send a pm to an admin. If you'd like more information, even if you're not on social media, please email us at TVCMC.contact@gmail.com

Charlotte’s Web
Charlotte's Web Co-op provides a safe learning environment for children in grades 4th and up to learn and share ideas with others with teachers who have a passion for their subject area. Following Mason’s philosophy of learning, lectures are not present here but serve as a guide to help facilitate the class in the children’s pursuit of knowledge. Knowing that many do not have the opportunity to meet locally we hope to bridge the gap. We also desire to share the load with moms who are feeling overloaded in having to provide the full feast Mason describes. We want to partner with you and help provide a well-rounded education for your children.
We also offer a Mom's meet-up virtually reading through Mason's volumes.

Charlotte Mason Community in Waco, Texas
We are a loosely knit group of parents who are working to use CM philosophy in our homeschools. But Waco has many opportunities for a CM educator to connect with others who are CM educators!
At the center is a Charlotte Mason Study Group of both new and seasoned homeschooling mothers and co-op and school educators meets one Monday evening a month to discuss Mason’s volumes. All mothers and women educators are welcome to join our warm, humble, inspiring, focused, and encouraging atmosphere, finding camaraderie with others seeking to implement a Charlotte Mason philosophy in homes and schools. Join us, also, to ask about opportunities to connect further with the Charlotte Mason community in the Waco area.
There are other groups that have grown from this core group. And they are all wonderfully organic in their growth.
