Our goal is to spread the powerful practice of habit training to as many classical schools around the nation as possible, because of how strongly we believe that habit training improves the quality of student learning.

Why Habit Training?

If you believe that children are full persons, then you will find habit training a superior method than typical classroom management or parenting discipline. Instead of manipulating behaviors to serve the teacher’s or parent’s needs, habit training seeks to benefit the child, providing them with inspiring ideas to promote their well being and future happiness.

The empowerment of student growth comports with the classical focus on the development of virtues. In addition, recent research has highlighted the benefits of habit formation, delineating the neurology and mechanics of acquiring good habits. It’s surprising, then, to find how relevant Charlotte Mason’s thoughts are, given that she wrote her philosophy of education over 100 years ago!

We hope you enjoy your free copy of this eBook! If you’re convinced like us of the power of habit training, share it with a friend or colleague who might be interested. And after you read it, let us know how we can serve you and the classical education movement better.
