A Vibrant and Encouraging Community of Parents and Teachers
We offer a wide range of online and in-person events for our members each year. This includes both ongoing groups, like our Mother’s Education Course and Community Learning Support Group, as well as annual events like our Fall Mini-Retreat and Parents’ Night. We livestream all of our events and offer recordings. We also provide other kinds of online support, including discussions of weekly topics at La Pianta, video messages from the CMEC Team, and a monthly newsletter.
Our offerings grow and adapt from year to year with the development of CMEC families and the express needs of our members in mind. We aim to encourage, provide accountability, educate, equip, and build relationships.
At our Curriculum Launch in the spring, we walk through the books and plans for the year to come.
At our Fall Mini-Retreat, we take on a particular topic workshop-style, providing education and modeling the art of teaching.
Our annual Parents’ Night gives members a chance to reflect on their family culture and educational goals.
Our popular Mother’s Education Course includes online meetings and a carefully-designed set of coursework from the volumes and the Parents’ Review.
We offer a Community Learning Support Group for those who are leading or teaching in TBG Groups, co-ops, and other learning programs, including live meetings, a thorough handbook, and email support.
Our Member Corner is dedicated to member-to-member interaction: a discussion space, a bulletin board, member chats, for galleries where you members can view student work -- and upload their own!
Through our Form Meetings and emails to our Form Leaders, members can receive guidance on the curriculum, ask questions, and provide feedback.
The CMEC Team is made up of homeschooling parents who are not just creating the curriculum and but also using it in their own homes and with their local communities.
Because of this, we are able to bring both experience and sympathy to our community offerings—we consider ourselves working out the ideas right along with our members.
What members say about our community...
Practical and Philosophical "With the support of the CMEC I feel like I am getting professional training in being a better person, a better mother, a better teacher ... It offers such practical support -- in guidance on how to step by step write out a timetable for your family -- philosophical inspiration -- in the reading recommendations and Mother's Education Course -- and personal encouragement -- in the delightful community of fellow mother educators. I am so grateful! – Elizabeth | Growth-Oriented "The CMEC's Mother's Education Course is truly unmatched by any other curriculum provider! This is where the CMEC's emphasis on the growth of the parent-teacher is truly evident. The content goes beyond school room walls and curriculum guides and touches the 'life' behind it all. It's a much welcomed and intimate opportunity for community, camaraderie, support, and growth, alongside fellow homeschoolers, both veteran and new!" – Casey | Refreshing and Warm "The Mother’s Education Course has been life-changing! It gives me the inspiration and ideas I need to continue my work with my children. I come out of the meetings joyful, refreshed, and with renewed purpose … The CMEC community is unique because it is a remarkably warm and personal group. The group leaders SHOW us through their interactions with us at community meetings what it means to be 'guide, philosopher, and friend' to our students." – Leandra |
