"Education is the Science of Relations"; that is, that a child has natural relations with a vast number of things and thoughts: so we train him upon physical exercises, nature lore, handicrafts, science and art, and upon many living books."
(Charlotte Mason, School Education, p.65-66)
Faithful Harvest Learning Community
We are volunteer families spreading the feast of a Charlotte Mason education together, sharing each other’s talents and burdens.
Homeschool in Community
Join other families embracing Charlotte Mason’s philosophy!
Each year co-op families share the subjects they are interested in doing together. Then a schedule is made matching interest with leaders.
Our Philosophy
We believe that education is more than just academics; it's about holistic growth. Inspired by the visionary educator Charlotte Mason, we embrace her philosophy that education is an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life. Our approach respects the personhood of the children while connecting them to great minds through great books and nature, nurturing a love for learning that extends beyond the lesson time.
Location
The co-op is newly founded and has met in the homes of co-op members in the McHenry County area in Illinois
Meeting Times
Co-op met together on Wednesday afternoons during the 2024/25 school year. Meeting times may change based on family schedules.
Student Levels
As a small co-op, student levels change each year. Forms 1 and 2 are the core range.
"Education is not the filling of a pail,
but the lighting of a fire."
– William Butler Yeats
