Charlotte Mason was a late nineteenth-century British educator
whose ideas were far ahead of her time. She believed that children
are born persons worthy of respect, rather than blank slates, and
that it was better to feed their growing minds with living
literature and vital ideas and knowledge, rather than dry facts and
knowledge filtered and pre-digested by the teacher. Her method of
education, still used by some private schools and many
homeschooling families, is gentle and flexible, especially with
younger children, and includes first-hand exposure to great and
noble ideas through books in each school subject, conveying wonder
and arousing curiosity, and through reflection upon great art,
music, and poetry; nature observation as the primary means of early
science teaching; use of manipulatives and real-life application to
understand mathematical concepts and learning to reason, rather
than rote memorization and working endless sums; and an emphasis on
character and on cultivating and maintaining good personal habits.
Schooling is teacher-directed, not child-led, but school time
should be short enough to allow students free time to play and to
pursue their own worthy interests such as handicrafts. Traditional
Charlotte Mason schooling is firmly based on Christianity, although
the method is also used successfully by secular families and
families of other religions. Here in one affordable volume is her
complete Homeschooling Series: Home Education: Six lectures by
Charlotte Mason about the raising and educating of young children
(up to the age of nine), for parents and teachers. She details how
lessons in various school subjects can be done using her approach.
She concludes with remarks about the Will, the Conscience, and the
Divine Life in the Child. Parents and Children: A collection of 26
articles from the original Parent's Review magazines to encourage
and instruct parents. School Education: Thoughts about the teaching
and curriculum of children aged 9-12, either at school or at home.
Ourselves: A character curriculum book written directly to
children. Book I, Self-Knowledge, is for elementary school
students; Book II, Self-Direction, is for older students. Formation
of Character: Includes case studies of children (and adults) who
cured themselves of bad habits; reflections on subjects including
both schooling and vacations (or "stay-cations" as we now call
them); various aspects of home schooling, with a special section
detailing the things that Charlotte Mason thought were important to
teach to girls in particular; and examples of how education
affected outcome of character in famous writers of her day. Towards
a Philosophy of Education: Charlotte Mason's final book, written
after years of seeing her approach in action. This volume gives the
best overview of her philosophy, and includes the final version of
her 20 Principles. This book is particularly directed to parents of
older children, about ages 12 and up, but is a valuable overview
for parents of younger children as well, covering both theory and
practice.
Home Education consists of six lectures by Charlotte Mason about
the raising and educating of young children (up to the age of
nine), for parents and teachers. She encourages us to spend a lot
of time outdoors, immersed in nature and handling natural objects
and collecting experiences on which to base the rest of their
education. She discusses the use of training in good habits such as
attention, thinking, imagining, remembering, performing tasks with
perfect execution, obedience, and truthfulness, to replace
undesirable tendencies in children (and the adults that they grow
into). She details how lessons in various school subjects can be
done using her approach. She concludes with remarks about the Will,
the Conscience, and the Divine Life in the Child. Charlotte Mason
