For the Children’s Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay. This book is written primarily for parents and is an “easy read” introduction to the Charlotte Mason educational philosophy. Please note that this book projects a more casual approach to this philosophy than you will find at an Ambleside School.
When Children Love to Learn by Elaine Cooper. This is a great book for educators or for those wanting an in-depth explanation of an Ambleside education.
