Classical Et Cetera

Charlotte Mason Explained: A Classical Education Perspective (Part 1)

Dec 4, 2024

Charlotte Mason homeschool curriculum takes center stage this week on Classical Et Cetera as we explore her philosophy and its comparison to Classical Education. Known for her emphasis on child-led learning, natural environments, and narration, Mason’s ideas have shaped how many families educate their children. But how do her principles align—or conflict—with the structured, virtue-driven approach of Classical Education?

 

The panel examines tensions like freedom vs. formation, the teacher’s role vs. student autonomy, and Mason’s rejection of boredom in learning. Join us as we critique her methods, discuss practical applications, and reflect on the enduring questions of what education should be.
