  • Episode 305: The Bible, Part 1
    Aug 22 2025

    Why did Charlotte Mason think that the Bible was the most important subject in a child's school lessons? What portions of the Bible are appropriate for children to read? And why should I include Bible as a lesson if our family already does regular Bible reading or devotions? In today's podcast we are tackling these questions and more as we look at the Bible as a school subject in the Charlotte Mason curriculum.

    Have you ever wondered what makes a curriculum Charlotte Mason or not? Charlotte Mason herself gave us principles based on her idea that children are born persons. This season of the podcast, we are going to be working our way through chapter 10 of volume six and answering that question: What is a Charlotte Mason curriculum? Join us in this episode as we start to answer that question by exploring points 11-15 of her educational principles.
