"Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life."-Charlotte Mason
For the month of June...
RESOURCES|encouragement on your homeschool journey
I always thoroughly appreciate the amazing works that are published over at Charlotte Mason Poetry. Take a few minutes and read through this article, written by H.W. Household and then transcribed by the CMP team. It gives a fantastic overview of what narration should look like within the Mason method.
COMMON QUESTIONS| Where will HCA be located for the 2019-2020 school year?
This is our most pressing and exciting question yet! We currently have a space in Atwood, IN, however, we are discovering that the bulk of the interest lies in the Michiana area. We had a fantastic turnout and reception at our South Bend Parents Information Night, and we are now actively searching for a large facility on the south side of South Bend. We have more than enough enrollment to open our school at the Atwood facility, however, as we approach our grand opening, we are prayerfully considering moving to where the greatest need seems to be, for ease of commute.
Please see our announcement below for time sensitive enrollment information!

May 31, 2019 - Deadline for Early Enrollment
Please note that during June, we will be making decisions on location and class offerings. We sincerely need to get an accurate enrollment count for the coming year so that we can use financial wisdom in securing a South Bend location.
Because the location of the school is still undetermined, we know how difficult it is to make an enrollment decision. We would ask that you still apply and indicate on your application which location you would prefer, and then submit your application fee accordingly. However, once we make the location determination, please know that you are free to revoke your application based on driving distance and we will offer a full application refund at that time.
Having the applications in sooner will help us best determine interest, and therefore will influence what location we will be using. If you are considering applying, we encourage you to do it quickly to help us secure our location!
Also note that the application fee increases after June 1, 2019.
