My 2024-2025 Classical Charlotte Mason Curriculum Pick | The Children's Tradition with Amanda Faus

In February, I decided I wanted to pull together my own curriculum. I wanted my children to have elements of the larger classical tradition that aren't present in most Charlotte Mason curricula. (I love her! But, let's admit, she's one woman in the stream of the tradition and I want the wisdom of the ages at every touch!)

I had made some good headway until my friend, Amanda Faus, dropped her new curriculum in my inbox and asked me to read it. It's everything I wanted. From Plato to John Senior, St. John Chrysostom to Charlotte Mason, Amanda has truly synthesized thousands of years of wisdom and sized it for the youngest at our homeschool tables.

I hope you enjoy our conversation.
