Recognizing her need for a consistent and deeply Christian philosophy of education, she began searching. It was in reading the six-volume opus of British educator, Charlotte Mason that she discovered the answers to her questions. Over the subsequent years, Maryellen would become a close associate of such luminaries in the Charlotte Mason renewal as Karen Andreola, Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, and others. She traveled to England several times, searching for remnants of Charlotte Mason&#8217;s methods and meeting some of the last surviving Charlotte Mason Trained (CMT) educators. And she began implementing Charlotte Mason&#8217;s principles &#8211; first as a classroom teacher, then as a director of instruction, and finally as a school principal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 1999, with a calling and vision to build a Charlotte Mason school from the ground up, Maryellen resigned her position as a school principal and moved to the town of Fredericksburg, Texas. There she spent a year in prayer and writing curriculum. In 2000, with the support of several families from the community, Ambleside School of Fredericksburg opened. From the beginning, central to Ambleside&#8217;s mission was the fostering of a renewal of Christian education based upon Charlotte Mason&#8217;s philosophy. Thus, the first Ambleside Internship was held within months of Ambleside School of Fredericksburg&#8217;s opening.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Almost immediately, from across the country and the world, educators began traveling to this little school in this little town to learn of this remarkable, living education. Some began asking for help in establishing a similar school in their community. In 2002, Ambleside School of McLean joined with Ambleside School of Fredericksburg. In 2003, Ambleside School of San Angelo was founded. In 2005, Maryellen and her husband, Bill, together with a group of supportive board members, established Ambleside Schools International to both facilitate the conversion of existing schools to Charlotte Mason&#8217;s pedagogy and support the establishment of new Ambleside Schools.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ambleside Member Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since the first Ambleside School opened its doors in Fredericksburg, Texas, Ambleside Schools International has grown to a network of schools with locations in the United States, South Africa, Nigeria, Mozambique, Austria, and India.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ambleside Homeschool<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ambleside Homeschool (AHS) was the result of the home and school classrooms meeting.
