9:15 – 10:00: Session 1: Introducing Charlotte Mason
We start off the sessions learning a little about Charlotte Mason herself, her mottoes for parents and children, and how she fits into world history. Hear the story of how her methods changed home schoolrooms. Learn how this flexible, proven, and effective approach can be put to use in home schools today.
10:00 – 10:30: Break
10:30 – 12:00: Session 2: CM Methods
Session 2 launches into the main focus of the seminar: how to teach each school subject using Charlotte Mason methods. Lots of moms have told us that one of the highlights of the seminar is learning several of the main methods by actually doing them. Its great practice and you’ll learn first-hand what you are asking your children to do. This session covers History, Geography, Art, Handicrafts and Life Skills, Poetry, Bible, Scripture Memory, Spelling, and Math.
12:00 – 1:00: Lunch
1:00 – 2:30: Session 3: CM Methods (continued)
This session is filled with more practical, hands-on experience and plenty of Q & A as we continue to look at each school subject the Charlotte Mason way. Session 3 covers Copy work, Composition, Foreign Language, Science, Nature Study, Music, Literature, and English Grammar.
2:30 – 3:00: Break
3:00 – 4:00: Session 4: Laying Down the Rails
For the last session, we have the Laying Down the Rails workshop on habits. This quick, practical overview of Laying Down the Rails, SCM’s best-selling printed book, really helps moms get a jump-start on how to cultivate good habits in their homes. Good habits are the key to smooth and easy days.

THE 2011 TOUR: February 1 – May 15
Fresh on the heels of its 2010 tour sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts’ Shakespeare in American Communities program the 2011 tour of Shakespeare To Go offers educators a choice between a 60-minute production of Romeo and Juliet for middle and high schools or Star-Crossed Shakespeare, an all-new 40-minute version for elementary school students.
Book a Shakespeare To Go performance, and we’ll give you an entire play…well, minus a few words here and there six actors, each playing multiple roles, sword play and some of the most famous and memorable characters in all of dramatic literature! NCSF promises an inviting and interactive experience that will enrich your school’s study of the world’s greatest dramatic figure.
Romeo and Juliet (for middle and high schools)
In 60 minutes with six actors, we’ll give you the whole enchilada (well, nearly the whole thing) the warring families, the balcony scene, the intrigue, the sword-fighting, the tragic deaths! You won’t want to miss this production of, arguably, Shakespeare’ s most famous play.
Star-Crossed Shakespeare (for elementary grades 3-5)
It’s Shakespeare for elementary school. In this special performance written for grades 3-5, STG actors present a fast, funny and interactive introduction to theatre and poetry as they tell the famous story of the “star-crossed” Romeo and Juliet.
