Under African Skies

A Guide to a Charlotte Mason Education in South Africa​

​A Charlotte Mason education in South Africa deserves resources written for African soil — real books, real places and real seasons, not adapted from another country's booklists. Under African Skies is a guide built from twelve years of homeschooling in Johannesburg, grounded in Charlotte Mason's principles and shaped to fit your own family.

It's the guide I wish I'd had as a young mum: the philosophy as the foundation, and the freedom to build a living education that belongs to your home.

​

Inside the guide:

• African living books and home-language reading, subject by subject

• Southern African nature study — six biomes and twelve topic pages

• Geography, mathematics, science and the home arts

• Dictation and copywork drawn from African voices

• The practical spine: BELA Act, Book of Centuries and matriculation, verified for 2026

• Mother culture, and nine planners for your year
