About
Catherine Levison
Catherine Levison, mother of five, began homeschooling in the 1980's
at a time when this option had only recently been legalized in her state.
She recognized the need for both materials and a philosophy in a relatively
new field. Catherine thoroughly researched various educational methods
looking for the best possible choice for her family. Concerned for the
quality of education for her children she also needed a method that could
keep her interest as she anticipated over twenty years of home schooling
before her. English educationalist Charlotte Mason proved to be the answer—her
family flourished due to creative and effective techniques such as using
poetry, masterpiece artwork, nature sketching combined with consistent
attention to the academics.
Catherine’s family enjoyed home education immensely and soon she answered
the need to help others to learn how to happily home educate. Her goal
has been to give practical advice while encouraging parents to think for
themselves and develop a style that personally suited them.
The result is countless thousands of parents are happily home schooling
thanks to Catherine’s books and nation-wide speaking engagements.
Catherine’s titles are, A Charlotte Mason Education—A Home Schooling
How-To Manual and More Charlotte Mason Education—A Home Schooling
How-To Manual. Her latest book is, A Literary Education—An Annotated
Book List. She is also a contributing author to Homeschooling Methods;
Seasoned Advice on Learning Styles published by Broadman & Holman,
2006. In addition Catherine has a regular column in the Link Homeschooling
Newspaper.
