Education is an Atmosphere, a Discipline, a Life (2025)

“Our aim in education is to give a full life. We owe it to them to initiate an immense number of interests. Life should be all living, and not merely a tedious passing of time; not all doing or all feeling or all thinking – the strain would be too great – but, all living; that is to say, we should be in touch wherever we go, whatever we hear, whatever we see, with some manner of vital interest.”

Understand more about who Charlotte Mason is and the importance of having a method in educating a child.

III. To understand the value of Discipline as part of Education
IV. To understand why Living Ideas are essential in Education
