Bringing effortless joy and educational excellence to your homeschool.
Coming This Summer!
Uncomplicated and Effortless
Living Streams, authored by Ann Troast and supplemented by Jeannie Fulbright, is an uncomplicated, effortless Charlotte Mason curriculum that brings joy and freedom to homeschool families.
Homeschool Family Tested
Ann wrote this curriculum to bless the families in her co-op with a simplified approach to implementing the Charlotte Mason model. Her weekly schedules brought easy joy and grew in popularity. Because of growing interest, she began offering her curriculum to families outside the co-op.
And now I am thrilled to be the publisher of this breath of fresh air in the homeschool curriculum market. We know it will bring light, freedom, confidence, and joy to your homeschool.
Family Focused
It is designed to simplify the homeschool experience by coordinating all ages around quality living books for family-style learning.
Generous Feast of Learning
Each Stream includes Bible, history, geography, science, language arts, nature study, music, handicrafts, and art. Add math for a complete curriculum.
“This curriculum gives a sweet framework
for a Charlotte Mason education and has brought
more peace and joy to our homeschool.”

Living Streams Bring Joy
Homeschooling was never meant to be stressful or a burden. Home education is the way God designed our children to learn, by the parents He chose, in the home He handpicked.
Charlotte Mason never meant for her educational model to be a burden to parents, but a joy. She meant for mother to experience freedom and peace while educating her children.
That is what we hope for you when you use the Living Streams Charlotte Mason Curriculum.
