About the curriculum

We will start our homeschool in August so right now I'm doing the lesson plan. Andrea will be doing Year 1 and Brandon will be in Kindergarten. We are using the Ambleside Online Curriculum (AO). I just go to the AO site and then copy all the booklist and schedules for Year 1. I do substitute some of the subjects with our local subjects. Instead of doing American history, we'll be doing Indonesian history and social studies. We'll be doing Indonesian language everyday. The rest, I just follow as it is.

It blows my mind that Ambleside Online was put together by a group of moms who really want to help others implement CM education without packaging it and marketing it to make a profit. Almost everything needed is available online for FREE! I'm just so very thankful for those who had the vision and generosity to bless so many homeschooler.

What's so special about this Ambleside Online curriculum, you may ask. Well, to quote one mom who has used it, it's because:
"Ambleside Online is the only one that is 100 percent Charlotte Mason in it's scope, it's sequence, and it's theory/methodology. Ambleside Online is different from the others in that it is based off the teaching methods of Charlotte Mason and the entire structure of the curriculum is intentionally similar to her PNEU school programmes. Ambleside Online uses some of the same books, follows similar schedules, and encourages parents to teach of the curriculum using her methods only." - Carol H.
