Unrecognized Beauty: Developing Eyes to See TTV

Many families are attracted to a Charlotte Mason style curriculum because it is full of beautiful subjects presented beautifully, but have you considered why the inclusion of beauty in a child’s curriculum is so important? Miss. Mason said, “It is no small part of education to have seen much beauty, to recognize it when we see it, and to keep ourselves humble in its presence.” In this session, we will consider the significance of beauty in our children’s lives, how they learn to discern and recognize beauty, and how that leads them to a full life of peace and service.

Enjoy this plenary session, presented by Nicole at four different Charlotte Mason conferences from 2018-2022.
