"The question is not, -- how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education -- but how much does he care? and about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? and, therefore, how full is the life he has before him?"

Our Mission Statement
or
"What we're trying to do here!"
Charlotte Mason rightly believed that we should prepare for our children a feast, a banquet of ideas coming from those who were passionate about those ideas. This group strives to help Charlottte Mason-inspired (and those who are just curious!) homeschooling moms deliver that feast.
The teenage years are a special time in a person's life. You are no longer a child, yet not an adult, either. But, you are bursting to learn and to grow and to become. As homeschooling moms it is a time of providing more, allowing this "not-a-child, yet not-an-adult" person to take on more responsibility, to start to turn over ideas more critically, and more often than not, form their own opinions. And, the homeschooling mom's job is much the same: to continue to supply a feast of worthy ideas. Phil 4:8 reminds us to be wise with our choices regarding the courses in this feast of ideas.
This group will provide a safe environment to provide the feast of ideas and activities that are the stuff of life: artist and composer study, poet and literature study, creative writing and drama and Shakespeare, nature study, group recreation and hand crafts, field trips and volunteering activities, all in a group setting with other "not-a-child, yet not-an-adult" persons who will share the journey of "becoming" with each other.
