Join us on Saturday, April 26th, from 2-6pm for our inaugural Barn Dance in support of Living Education Collective!

Welcome to Living Education Collective

A Charlotte Mason community for home-educating families in Ventura County.

We believe education should be relational.

Living Education Collective is a grassroots movement of local home educating families that have united to pursue all that is true, beautiful and good together in community for the glory of God. 

In addition to our 1-day student drop-off program, we seek to equip and strengthen our local community by offering Charlotte Mason style retreats, educational courses, gatherings and book clubs.

Key Points

  • We follow the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason.

  • Students are dropped off,  taught by paid educators and assisted by parent volunteers. 

  • We are a diverse, ecumenical community united in our love for Jesus, our unwillingness to remove God from education and our high emphasis on virtue and moral character. 

  • Our program runs on Wednesdays for 30 weeks each academic year. Every 7th week we take a sabbath. 

  • We currently accept students in Year 0 (age 5 by Sept 30) through Year 10. 

  • Primary classes are kept intentionally small with a max of 10 students per class. Upper school classes have a 12 student max.

Thought breeds thought; children familiar with great thoughts take as naturally to thinking for themselves as the well-nourished body takes to growing; and we must bear in mind that growth, physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual, is the sole end of education.
