Homeschooling.
The concept of teaching your kids at home conjures up lots of different images for people, especially since Covid-19 changed the education scene.
Prior to having kids of my own, I was never opposed to homeschooling, but it was never a passion of mine either.
Growing up, my schooling experience included:
- 6 years of homeschooling
- 6 years of Christian school (including high school)
- 4 years at the local public university to earn a degree in secondary math education
Then Geoffrey and I became parents. It was now time to consider what we wanted for our own family.
We spent a lot of time discussing the pros and cons of different school options. At last we decided to homeschool our kids using the Charlotte Mason Method.
I’ve been researching the Charlotte Mason Method for a few years now and the more I learn, the more I love it.
The amount of information about this philosophy of education used to be scarce. Now there is a ton of information to sift through and it is easy to become overwhelmed.
In this post I will start with why the Charlotte Mason Method is an excellent fit for our family. Then I will share the big picture of what this type of education looks like for all 12 years.
