Ambleside Events

This is a casual gathering at Ambleside held about once a month after morning carpool. Our Head of School, Mrs. Krise Nowak, leads parents in a guided discussion of a selected text from Charlotte Mason's work. The discussion helps parents to understand how these principles may be applied in the classroom and at home. Coffee and light morning refreshments are served. No preparation is required and childcare is provided.

This a community meeting for all parents and staff members. They are twice a year, usually scheduled for the Fall and Winter. Our Fall Parent Teacher Fellowship includes a potluck dinner.

PTFs are an invaluable opportunity to meet and build community with other parents, while hearing important information from the Head of School, administrative staff, teachers and the Ambleside Board or Trustees. It is mandatory for one parent to attend each PTF. Child care should be arranged for children at home if both parents attend.

These evening gatherings provide parents the opportunity to discuss Charlotte Mason’s ideas that support their parenting.

Ambleside Evenings are a way for parents to support one another in caring for their children, build relationships together through food and fellowship, and become a stronger school community as we learn about how to bring the transformative power of Charlotte Mason’s method into our homes.
