Charlotte Mason Explained: A Classical Education Perspective (Part 2)

In Part 2 of our series on Charlotte Mason, the panel unpacks more nuances of her educational philosophy and its place in today’s homeschooling landscape. We explore how her principles both align with and sometimes clash with the rigor and discipline emphasized in Classical Education.
 
This week, we tackle questions like: What defines a “living book"? How does Classical Education build on Mason’s love for literature through deeper engagement? Where does Charlotte Mason stand on Latin learning? How do misunderstandings of both philosophies fuel confusion among modern educators?
 
Join us as we discuss Charlotte Mason’s cultural context, her writing style, and the shared goal of cultivating the soul through great books.
