Charlotte Mason cottage school curriculum
A cottage school is small enough that one booklist can serve every child in the room. That is the point. You still need a license that allows a paid, in-person group, and a plan that mixed ages can share for history and enrichment.
Plans that fit a living room
AmblesideOnline for Groups can work if you do not charge a curriculum fee and you meet in person. Charlotte Mason Together is built for a three-hour gathering. Alveary licenses cottage-scale organizations; ask CMI which application applies.
Family-style history and enrichment matter more here than in a graded private school. Skill subjects — math, reading, written narration — stay per child even when the cottage is one room.
Legal wrapper first
