"One discovers a thing because it is there, and no sane person takes credit to himself for such discovery. On the contrary, he recognizes with King Arthur,–– “These jewels, whereupon I chanced Divinely, are for public use.” For many years we have had access to a sort of Aladdin’s cave which I long to throw open ‘for public use.’

About Us

Welcome to CharlotteMasonEducation.org, a place where we humbly carry the light of an educational philosophy that awakens both the mind and soul of every child.

We exist “For the Children’s Sake”, inspired by Charlotte Mason’s timeless vision of education—a vision that sees children not as empty vessels to be filled, but as whole persons, brimming with potential and dignity. Our mission is to share these principles far and wide, not because we claim them as our own, but because they are a treasure we’ve been fortunate to discover—a gift that belongs to all who are willing to receive it.

Torch-Bearers for a New Generation

Charlotte Mason once wrote, “You, dear people, are torch-bearers, bearing the light.” We take this call to heart. The principles we share are not new, but their power lies in their simplicity and universality:

  • Children deserve a liberal education that nourishes their minds and spirits.
  • Education is a life, rooted in living ideas, habit training, and the beauty of relationships—with people, knowledge, and the world.
  • Every child is a person, worthy of respect and dignity, with a unique mind capable of understanding great ideas.

These truths form the foundation of the work we do, connecting the beauty of the past with the pressing needs of today.

A Philosophy for All

As Mason said, “He who has, must share.” We believe that the principles of her philosophy are not the property of any one person or group but belong to anyone who recognizes their value. This treasure is meant to be passed on, awakening what Mason called “a general soul” within each child at the touch of knowledge.

In today’s world, where bodies are physically fed but minds are “intellectually famished,” the need for this kind of education is greater than ever. We long to throw open this “Aladdin’s cave” of ideas—an education that feeds the mind, inspires the soul, and helps children discover their place in the world.

Why We Do What We Do

We work to share Charlotte Mason’s philosophy because we believe in its power to transform lives:

  • To restore wonder and curiosity in a world overwhelmed by information.
  • To cultivate character and intellect, shaping children who not only know but also care.
  • To offer a practical path for parents and educators seeking to honor their children as whole persons.

As Mason observed, “The world today is less in need of a better method of education than an adequate conception of children.” This is our passion and purpose—to spread an educational vision that cherishes children for who they are and equips them for who they can become.

Our Invitation to You

This work is for everyone who sees the light of Mason’s ideas and longs to pass it on. Together, we can raise a generation of children whose faces reflect the vitality of souls nourished by truth, beauty, and goodness.

We invite you to join us on this journey—a journey that begins not with cleverness, but with humility, as we “recognize with King Arthur, ‘These jewels, whereupon I chanced divinely, are for public use.’”

Welcome to CharlotteMasonEducation.org. Let’s share this treasure—for the children’s sake.
