Charlotte Mason

A Living Education In Africa

Charlotte Mason was a British educator who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her philosophy emphasized respecting children as individuals with unique personalities and interests. She believed that children should be exposed to a wide range of subjects, including art, music, literature, and nature, and that they should be encouraged to develop good habits and a love of learning. Mason's ideas continue to influence educators around the world today.

On my arrival at Ambleside, I was interviewed by Miss Mason who asked me for what purpose I had come. I replied: “I have come to learn to teach." Then Miss Mason said: "My dear, you have come here to learn to live.”
