“..we do not merely give a religious education because that would simply imply the possibility of some other education, secular education, for example.  But we hold that all education is divine, that every good gift of knowledge and insight comes from above, that the Lord the Holy Spirit is the supreme educator of mankind, and that the culmination of all education (which may at the same time be reached by a little child) is that personal knowledge of and intimacy with God in which our being finds its fullest perfection.” – Charlotte Mason

I am… I can… I ought… I will…

May all that we learn — from the complex patterns of numbers, to the minute details under a microscope, to the exquisite creativity in art and music, and to the stories of greatness and failure of the past — shape our thoughts and actions, all according to Your will.

“The question is not, — how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education — but how much does he care? and about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? and, therefore, how full is the life he has before him?” – Charlotte Mason
