Charlotte M. Mason
Charlotte Mason was an influential British educator who revolutionized educational theory at the turn of the 20th century.
She transformed education from a utilitarian necessity into a holistic approach centered on "living ideas." Mason's philosophy emphasized education as "an atmosphere, a discipline, a life" and a "science of relations." Her methods, which focus on developing the whole child through exposure to rich, varied experiences and high-quality literature, continue to be widely embraced today, particularly within the homeschooling community.
Mason's work has had a lasting impact on educational practices, inspiring educators worldwide to adopt her child-centered, relationship-based approach to learning.
