CHARLOTTE MASON ELEMENTARY TUTORIAL

ADMISSIONS

Thank you for your interest in the Charlotte Mason Elementary Tutorial program! /

Whenever possible, we encourage families who are considering joining us at CMET to visit with us when classes are in session.

**Before submitting an application**

  1. Both parents should read Susan Schaeffer Macaulay’s book, For the Children’s Sake. Because CMET is a hybrid classroom-home based program, it is important that both tutors and parents understand both Mason’s educational philosophy and methods. Therefore, we do require that at least one parent attend an orientation seminar and that both parents read Susan Schaeffer Macaulay’s For the Children’s Sake. This book is available in several formats: print, ebook, and audio.
  2. At least one parent should attend the orientation seminar.
  3. Complete the application.
