Adrienne lives in Marin County with her husband and their three children, ages 9, 10, and 12. She was introduced to the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education shortly after the birth of her first child, and it rapidly began to shape and guide her views on parenting and education. After more than a decade of study, Adrienne is confidently and imperfectly in the midst of educating her children at home. She loves spreading the feast of ideas for her children while learning alongside them. She is active in her local homeschool community and leads Mason inspired classes and activities.

Amber lives in Nevada County, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Two of her seven children have graduated from her homeschool, but with a toddler, she’s most likely only at the halfway mark in her time as a home educator. She’s in her 19th year of homeschooling, largely using Mason’s practices. She has been studying Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy of Education and Classical Education for over 20 years. To further her growth as an educator, she joined the CiRCE Apprenticeship in 2021 and graduated in 2024.
