New To Charlotte Mason?

In a world of ever increasing information, we cannot stress enough the importance of finding sound Charlotte Mason advice to follow as you begin your journey. To use Mason's own terminology - there's lots of "twaddle" out there when it comes to true implementation of her methods. Below is the order we advise you to begin your journey. You will also find a list of  "accredited" resources that we believe, for the most part, have an aim to authentically align with Charlotte Mason. There may be slight deviations, but overall you can "trust"  the resources on this page. Of course the absolute best source is the first source: Mason's 6 Volumes and her original programmes. However, we know that creating a schedule can be daunting, so thankfully there are some wonderful resources available to help you.
