Charlotte Mason in Memphis

Meeting Location: Faith Baptist Church, Germantown Rd., Bartlett, TN
Community Description: We started this Charlotte Mason group in 2012 because we wanted a place to share ideas and experiences with others in the Memphis area who are interested in this approach to teaching our children. Since no such group existed, we formed our own. We have a monthly moms’ reading group, a Facebook group for those who can't meet in person, and an old-fashioned monthly get-together to play at the park, visit a museum, or whatever takes our fancy. We are independent of - but happy to share ideas, concepts, and experiences with - other Charlotte Mason groups. This group is only open to families in the West Tennessee, Northern Mississippi area. There are no membership fees or formal requirements to join any of our activities.
