Learn History through Biography: The Greek biographer Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans is one of the cornerstones of Charlotte Mason’s educational philosophy.

Charlotte Mason-style lessons: We will read these together while learning about the great and terrible events of their lives and the events of their respective eras. The readings will be guided and living and short.
Weekly Written Narrations: Students will write a narration and upload to the class forum each week. Students may also narrate orally to parents who can transcribe and upload for the student. Narrations will not be corrected or graded. There is no writing instruction; only accountability and practice with narration.
The American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson called Plutarch’s biographies “a Bible for heroes”. Let us explore it together.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Self-Paced students are able to start the class whenever they are ready. The green button with a date down below is not an indicator of a start date, but must be selected to begin registration.
