Discussion for parent educators in the Pacific Northwest (and points beyond!) interested in the educational methods and philosophies of Charlotte Mason, a British educator from the late 1800's. Most of our list members are in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia, but we have others from across the USA, Canada and around the globe. So feel free to join in, no matter where you're from! :-)

The original members of this email group came from an in-person Charlotte Mason support group that used to meet in Puyallup, Washington about ten years ago. Our in-person group was led by Catherine Levison, author of A Charlotte Mason Education and More Charlotte Mason Education.

Over the past couple of years, this email group has become pretty quiet. Many of the original members have gone on to other stages of life as their children have grown and either finished their homeschooling, started attending high school, or began Running Start.

If you join the Northwest Charlotte Mason group, don't worry about being innundated with email. We mainly just share about activities and resources of interest to Charlotte Mason homeschoolers that are available in the local Seattle/Tacoma/Portland areas.

Feel free to jump in and introduce yourself to the group. From time to time, conversation starts up again but it usually takes someone new to start the ball rolling. :-)

Happy Homeschooling!
