Charlotte Mason said “History is the pivot upon which our curriculum turns.” In this session we will look closely at how Mason structured the history studies in the PNEU: how much time she covered every year; the multiple streams, or layers, of history studied simultaneously; and the interconnectedness of certain subjects that are linked with history study. Through it all we will be looking at our specific place in time asking ourselves if these principles Mason gave us are still relevant for Americans today–we think you’ll agree that these ideas may even be more relevant for 21st Century students than they were in the PNEU 100 years ago.
