21 | Educational Philosophies: Classical vs. Charlotte Mason with Leah Nicklaus

from Home Edify Podcast · host Kristin Malphrus

This week's episode I chatted with Leah Nicklause, the content creator behind Living Bright Homeschool where she shares book recommendations, homeschooling adventures, and posts about biblical motherhood. It was SO fun, and helped me really grasp educational philosophy. As a mom of five boys, she brings incredible insight into the world of habits as described by Charlotte Mason. I asked her all about what led her to the Charlotte Mason philosophy and what the real differences are between it and a Classical education. Discover the principles of Charlotte Mason's educational philosophy, which emphasizes respecting children as individuals and nurturing their natural curiosity through a rich "feast" of living ideas. Leah shares her journey from public schooling to embracing a literature-based, life-giving approach to education, offering insights into how this philosophy shapes her family's daily life and learning. Whether you're a new homeschool mom or exploring different methodologies, this episode provides valuable perspectives on creating a nurturing and holistic educational environment. If you're a homeschool mom searching to find the foundation for your child's homeschool experience, this episode is for you. And as always, may your lives be sanctified, your homes edified, and Jesus glorified as you listen to this week's episode. -Kristin Literature Recommendations: Gentle and Lowly by Dane C.
