Living out the Charlotte Mason Method
Guiding with Grace
The 2025 CMI Conference is coming, and we can't wait to gather with you on beautiful St. Simons Island, GA! Mark your calendars for July 24-26, 2025 at Epworth by the Sea, where this year's theme, "Guiding with Grace: Living out the Charlotte Mason Method," will inspire, equip, and refresh your heart and mind. Embracing simplicity and humility, we’ll explore how laying down our lives for the "sake of the children” allows us to guide with grace, nurturing growth in them and in ourselves.
Prepare to immerse yourself in community, hands-on learning, and thoughtful discussions. We hope participants--including teens ages 13 and older! -- will leave the conference excited to incorporate Charlotte Mason's insights into their rhythms of life. We can’t wait to see you on St. Simon’s Island!
More true education would become possible if parents and teachers would bear in mind the duty of being themselves ‘as little children,’ ‘persons’ who can recognize and help other ‘persons.’”
~Essex Cholmondeley, "The Personality of the Teacher"
