Before You Homeschool Advice
If I could go back in time, I would do things a little different. You see, while I was researching homeschool the world wide bug happened and that kept me from doing proper research. However, I was able to participated in a workshop about homeschool given by the state I was living in at the time.
The leader of the workshop suggested based what I wanted out of homeschool that the Charlotte Mason was the perfect fit. She was right. However, what I wish she would have told me is that there are number of curriculums out there that can help.
Ever since, I’ve been jumping around curriculums trying to see what the perfect fit is. So, if could go back in time I would hope someone would give me a list of the different Charlotte Mason style curriculums out there for me to research. That’s what I’m going to do for you today.
1. Ambleside Online: Ambleside online is a FREE curriculum that many people use and enjoy. They have a grid with all the book suggestions for the year.
2. The Alveary: The Alveary is a full curriculum that you have to pay a yearly subscription. It comes with lesson plans for each subject. You can learn more about them @charlottemasonsalveary.
3. A Gentle Feast: A Gentle Feast is a full curriculum that comes in four cycles. When you purchase a cycle you get loads of resources to help you set up your school year. You can learn more @agentlefeast.
4. Simply Charlotte Mason: Simply Charlotte Mason is a simplified version of the Charlotte Mason method. They too have a full curriculum that you can pick and choose from. Their suggestions are growing and many use them for their great resources. You can learn more @simplycharlottemason
5. The CMEC: The CMEC is a full curriculum that comes with a Mother-Teacher course meant to help mothers become better mothers and teachers. They too have a yearly subscription. You can learn more @the.cmec.
So as you can see, each one has its own way of doing things and things can get pretty confusing quickly. My suggestion would be to follow those accounts to learn more about them and then unfollow when you have made a decision. This way you avoid confusion and FOMO.
