“I just wanted to thank you for the excellent conference. We've been ‘doing’ CM for almost 10 years and I can honestly say I came away from
your seminar with something new to do/study/think about in EVERY single subject. I've been to several home ed conferences over the years, this was by far the most useful, most entertaining, and most
interesting! The information you presented was so very useful, and the finest introduction to the CM method I've ever seen. Your visual graphics were very professional and added considerably to the
presentation.” --Pittsburgh, PA March 2003“After homeschooling the Charlotte Mason way for over ten years, there were areas in which I struggled in translating the ideals into real life. I have read most
of Charlotte's six-volume series, all the Parents Review magazines, and several books on the CM approach. They all had value, but reading The Charlotte Mason Study Guide and attending Penny's seminar enabled
me to put the missing puzzle pieces into the whole picture. The seminar was certainly the highlight of our year. . .actually the defining moment of our entire homeschooling lifestyle! Thank you, Penny, for
blessing families with your wisdom and insights into this most excellent educational way.” --Fort Worth, TX Oct. 2003
“Penny has a way of sharing Charlotte Mason's ideas so that you feel you can really go
home and implement these methods. It was so inspiring!” --San Diego, April 2002
“Penny's seminar is the bridge between Charlotte Mason theory and it's application. She gives understandable, practical
advice. I left with the confidence to start applying this method immediately. ” --Henderson, NV, 2002
“I found the seminar extremely helpful. I'd been reading about CM method online and in
books, but to sit through the ‘hands-on’ demo of narration was fantastic. Thank you for helping me think outside of the box about education.” --Vallejo, CA, 2002
“I thought the seminar was
terrific in every way. Your seminar was as practical as it was inspirational.” --San Jose, Aug. 2002
“I loved the seminar! I have been homeschooling the Charlotte Mason way for 6 years. I am so
excited to start school again and use all of the helpful tips and ideas. I loved your honesty and fun.” --Rancho Cucamonga, Aug. 2002
“Seeing the application of it all in one day was so
helpful! ...Everything you teach and everything Charlotte advocated can't help but make any family's learning experience richer and more joyful.” --Portland, 2002
“I had a wonderful time
and even though I've been using Charlotte Mason methods for about 5 years now, I still learned a lot and was also encouraged to get back into some of the things I've let slide.” --Manitowoc, WI
“ I have been thinking about homeschooling my last two children, when a friend invited me to your seminar. I was so inspired by your message. I actually think I can do it! My mind is busy planning my
schedule for next year.” --Phoenix, AZ
“My technical minded husband and I attended your seminar in Indianapolis. He truly loved the seminar and is passing along your web site to all his friends
at work whose wives homeschool their children! That says so much about your seminar. We both loved it, it solidified our decision to remain homeschooling for the long-run (this is our fifth year.)
I used your recommendation for using predictable books and echo reading yesterday with my 6 year old son who was not a happy camper when it came to learning to read...Then today he
brought me the book, and asked if he could read with me! I almost cried!
He laughed throughout the book, read more than he has ever before, and truly enjoyed reading. Before, he
said to me that he didn’t want to learn to read because he would be bored. Then today he’s begging to read with me! I am so amazed at something so simple making such a difference.
Penny, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your wisdom with us. I am so glad we attended your seminar. In two short school days it has changed the dynamics of our
family.” --Indianapolis, 2003
“I enjoyed your seminar very much and received so many very good ideas. I cannot wait to use them. In my 3 years of homeschooling, I've spent a lot of money on
useless things...the money I spent on your CM seminar was the best spent ever.” --Pittsburgh, PA, 2003
“I feel inspired after hearing you speak. I have your book, as well as other CM books, but
have struggled to put things into practice for some reason. After listening to you explain things, however, I now feel like this really is something which I can do, and even do well, and it sounds like so
much fun. I'm really excited, and think these seminars you do are important.” --Hamburg, MI, 2003
“The seminar in Raleigh was a great blessing. It definitely was the high point of my ‘teacher
training.’ I really like the longer intensive type seminar. It is so nice to be able to get a lot of specialized instruction versus a typical one-hour workshop available at our huge homeschool convention.”
--Raleigh, NC, 2003
