Charlotte Mason‘s Educational Method is centered around the idea of a three-pronged education. Education is atmosphere (environment). Education is discipline (habits of character). Education is life (academics). It is essentially learning through living and ideas, not simply through facts. Mason was a British educator living during the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries.
