Who is Charlotte Mason and Why Does SMCS Incorporate Some of Her Methodology?

0

Charlotte Mason was an educator in England in the nineteenth century who started a school (much copied) based on “the science of relationships,” seeing each child as a unique creation made in the image of God and seeking to teach the whole child, body, mind and spirit. She provided a positive learning environment based on ideas, which was non-competitive, developed positive habits, and put students in touch with their relationship with God, mankind, and God’s world through discovery and exploration using all their senses. Rather than have the students memorize a series of unrelated facts and study each subject in isolation, Charlotte Mason emphasized the interrelations between subjects, using techniques such as scripture memory, picture studies, nature journals, history timeline notebooks, the science and math of cooking, narration, rich literature, and exposure to great music from all periods. She believed that God gave children all the curiosity they will ever need if it is properly
