Home Education

By: Mason, Charlotte M.

Discover the timeless wisdom that has shaped thousands of homeschool families.

Inside Home Education

Charlotte Mason's first volume introduces her revolutionary philosophy that children are born persons deserving of respect, rich ideas, and living books rather than dry textbooks. She covers the formation of habits, the importance of outdoor time and nature study, early reading instruction, and how to cultivate attention and obedience without breaking a child's spirit. Whether you're teaching toddlers or elementary-aged students, Mason's principles provide a framework for nurturing both character and intellect.

The bonus content: Sermons by Eug ne Bersier, collected as "The Imperative Demand," were translated by Mason herself and included in early printings of Home Education. We assume they were later removed for space considerations, so we are delighted to restore this section to our updated edition, as the text illuminates the spiritual and moral foundations Mason considered "imperative" for parents undertaking the profound responsibility of education.
