————————————————————————————————–

Charlotte Mason was a wonderful woman who lived in the late 19th century and early 20th century. She was orphaned at the age of 16, and gave her life to educating children. She was far ahead of her time, as most educators saw children as merely buckets to pour lots of information into. Miss Mason, on the other hand saw children as needing great ideas presented in interesting ways to have their minds quickened into learning all they could about the world, and how they would fit into it. She knew they were capable, intelligent, and thoughtful beings. She believed every child deserved a great education, and that the child’s parents could give it, if they had the right information. So, she set out to teach not only professional educators, but parents how to teach their children well. As a result of her life’s work, millions of children have been educated with excellence. As the homeschooling movement has enjoyed a resurgence, Miss Mason’s thoughts have again become popular with parents who want to give their children an excellent education.

Books included in this collection by Charlotte Mason

  1. Home Education Lectures by Charlotte Mason – her first efforts to show parents how to give their children an excellent education at home was accomplished through a series of lectures given by Miss Mason, and compiled into this volume. The lectures were first delivered in 1885 and 1886.
  2. Home Education by Charlotte Mason – Volume 1 of the Original Homeschooling Series, this is the book that grew out of that series of lectures. It was published in multiple editions as her practices became more popular and more parents and professional educators wanted to learn her ways.
  3. Parents and Children by Charlotte Mason – (Volume 2 of the Original Homeschooling Series) This is a collection of articles that first appeared in the “Parent’s Review” magazine. This was a publication designed to keep parents and teachers who used the method in touch with Charlotte Mason and others using the method. Much like today’s homeschooling magazines, it was an encouragement to those on the journey of educating their children.
  4. School Education by Charlotte Mason – This book, which is volume 3 of the Original Homeschooling Series, addresses the education of children ages 9-12. Here Miss Mason shared some specific examples of books and curriculum she herself used in her own teaching.
  5. The Forty Shires by Charlotte Mason- Even before she began lecturing and writing about her philosophy of education, Miss Mason traveled throughout England and wrote about the geography of her beloved country. This book is a general introduction to the forty shires that make up England.
  6. Geographical Readers for Middle Class and Elementary Schools by Charlotte Mason- This is one of the readers in the London Geographical Series, and concerns “the countries of Europe, their scenery and peoples.”

Bonus Books by Other Authors

  1. In Memoriam of Charlotte Mason – This is a work put together after the death of Charlotte Mason in 1923. There is a record of a report Miss Mason herself gave to the Whitsontide Conference – for the PNEU schools – this was presented about a year before her death. The rest of the book is full of memorials and tributes written by former colleagues, students, as well as a few poems and other short writings by Miss Mason herself.
  2. Type Lessons for Primary Teachers in the Study of Nature, Literature, and Art by Anna E. McGovern – This book was written in the USA, but many of the lessons presented in this books fit quite nicely within the methods put forth by Charlotte Mason. A quote from the introduction: “The aim of Nature Study is twofold: First, to cultivate the higher nature of the child and lead him toward his Creator; and, secondly, to develop his intellectual powers and lead him to acquire a knowledge of his physical environment.” The lessons are arranged by season, and the author wonderfully links the beauty of nature with the beauty found in the great masterpieces and grand literature. These and other characteristics earned this volume a place in this collection.
  3. On The Trail an Outdoor Book for Girls by Lina and Adelia B. Beard – this 1922 volume is chock full of illustrations, photos and descriptions of the wonderful things one can see and do in the outdoors on a weekend outing. This book was, obviously, aimed at girls, and as such, the photos concern girls who are enjoying the creation. However, anyone can benefit from the drawings and lessons in this book. As this book shows so well how one can learn to love the ‘wilderness’, as it’s called in the book, it seems to fit quite nicely with this collection.

About the “History Revealed” curriculum

Answers in Genesis has teamed up with Diana Waring, one of the most recognizable names in homeschooling, to bring you this unique and comprehensive world history curriculum—“History Revealed.”

Volume 1 is Ancient Civilizations & the Bible, which takes you on a journey from creation to Christ, covering the major events, civilizations, and personalities in the first 4,000 years of world history. Volume 2 is Romans, Reformers, Revolutionaries, which covers the early church to the French revolution. Volume 3, World Empires, World Missions, World Wars, will be available in the Spring of 2010.

Each volume is a one-year history curriculum and includes a teacher guide, student manual, testing kit, audio CDs, and an optional elementary activity book for the younger students so that all ages can participate in this exciting study of world history.

Each volume is broken down into nine units, with each unit broken into four one-week segments, called phases. Each phase covers a variety of learning methods.

  1. In Phase 1, the student reads the unit article and then listens to fascinating stories of history told by Diana in the What in the World is Going on Here?, True Tales, and Digging Deeper audio CDs.
  2. Phase 2 focuses on exploration and discovery. The student researches a topic of his or her own choosing and also learns vocabulary and constructs a timeline.
  3. Phase 3 focuses on the geography, arts, and sciences of the period covered. It includes making maps as well as activities in science, art, architecture, cooking, and music.
  4. In Phase 4 students are encouraged to express themselves in their own unique way, choosing a project that may include writing, art, music, drama, movement, conceptual design, or other areas of expression.

The teacher guide includes everything needed to make history come alive for your students (and you). Diana also gives weekly schedule suggestions that are flexible to the needs of your family or class, and she provides background information for you to stay at least one step ahead of your students.

History Revealed, Volume 1: Ancient Civilizations & the Bible—From Creation to Jesus Christ (4004 BC to AD 29)

In this exciting curriculum, you will explore these questions, dig deeply into the best resources available, and discover world history from a truly biblical basis.

Ancient Civilizations & the Bible presents a panorama of world history spanning from 4004 BC to AD 29, exploring creation, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the rise of civilizations from Mesopotamia to Rome.

About the “History Revealed” curriculum

Answers in Genesis has teamed up with Diana Waring, one of the most recognizable names in homeschooling, to bring you this unique and comprehensive world history curriculum—“History Revealed.”

Volume 1 is Ancient Civilizations & the Bible, which takes you on a journey from creation to Christ, covering the major events, civilizations, and personalities in the first 4,000 years of world history. Volume 2 is Romans, Reformers, Revolutionaries, which covers the early church to the French revolution. Volume 3, World Empires, World Missions, World Wars, will be available in the Spring of 2010.

Each volume is a one-year history curriculum and includes a teacher guide, student manual, testing kit, audio CDs, and an optional elementary activity book for the younger students so that all ages can participate in this exciting study of world history.

Each volume is broken down into nine units, with each unit broken into four one-week segments, called phases. Each phase covers a variety of learning methods.

  1. In Phase 1, the student reads the unit article and then listens to fascinating stories of history told by Diana in the What in the World is Going on Here?, True Tales, and Digging Deeper audio CDs.
  2. Phase 2 focuses on exploration and discovery. The student researches a topic of his or her own choosing and also learns vocabulary and constructs a timeline.
  3. Phase 3 focuses on the geography, arts, and sciences of the period covered. It includes making maps as well as activities in science, art, architecture, cooking, and music.
  4. In Phase 4 students are encouraged to express themselves in their own unique way, choosing a project that may include writing, art, music, drama, movement, conceptual design, or other areas of expression.

The teacher guide includes everything needed to make history come alive for your students (and you). Diana also gives weekly schedule suggestions that are flexible to the needs of your family or class, and she provides background information for you to stay at least one step ahead of your students.
