AmblesideOnline - Year 8 Overview
"Let us try, however imperfectly, to make education a science of relationships--in other words, try in one subject or another to let the children work upon living ideas. In this field small efforts are honoured with great rewards, and we perceive that the education we are giving exceeds all that we intended or imagined."
Charlotte Mason, Volume 3, p. 163
