Charlotte Mason (January 1, 1842 – January 16, 1923) was a British educator who invested her life in improving the quality of children's education. Her ideas led to one of the primary methods of homeschooling.
Biography
Orphaned at the age of sixteen, Charlotte Mason enrolled in the Home and Colonial Society for the training of teachers and earned a First Class Certificate. She taught school for more than ten years at Davison School in Worthing, England. During this time she began to develop her vision for "a liberal education for all." English children in the 1800s were educated according to social class; the poorer were taught a trade, and the fine arts and literature were reserved for the richer class. By "liberal," Charlotte envisioned a generous and broad curriculum for all children, regardless of social class.
Charlotte was soon invited to teach and lecture at Bishop Otter Teacher Training College in Chichester, England, where she stayed for more than five years. Her experiences there convinced her that parents would be greatly helped if they understood some basic principles about bringing up children. So Charlotte gave a series of lectures, which were later published as Home Education and widely received. From this beginning, the Parents' Educational Union was formed and quickly expanded. A periodical was launched to keep in touch with PEU members, the "Parents' Review."
