This group is to find other homeschoolers that are interested or are using the Charlotte Mason or Ambleside (http://www.amblesideonline.org) style learning in their homeschool for those families in Hawaii. Not everyone in the group will be strict CM/AO users, but we will be suportive of each other and help each other to use CM/AO methods in our homeschooling environment; it will be a place to share ideas and experiences, ask questions, or learn from others.
We welcome those new and veteran users of CM; but most of us will fall somewhere in the middle of it. Our hope is for this group to also become a place to find other CM homeschoolers in your area and possibly meet for Nature Walks and the like.
