Charlotte Mason Companion: Personal Reflections on The Gentle Art of Learning

Karen Andreola believes you can experience the joy-filled homeschool of your dreams!

This modern classic is written by the homeschool mom who first carried Charlotte Mason’s writings to America in her suitcase in 1987. Karen and her husband Dean arranged for Miss Mason’s books to be republished for a new generation of parents and educators and kept them in print for 25 years!  After 10 years of study – living out Miss Mason’s principles in a practical way with her own children, Karen wrote A Charlotte Mason Companion: Personal Reflections on The Gentle Art of Learning TM. Today’s parents can now see what a Charlotte Mason education looks like in a contemporary setting, while gleaning from its many benefits.

Charlotte Mason’s Christian principles of education offer a way to learn, and a way to live!
