Mater Amabilis

Welcome to Mater Amabilis, a Charlotte Mason style curriculum for Catholics in the 21st century.

For questions and support in implementing the curriculum please join the Teacher Training Forum where you can find valuable feedback and encouragement from the many families that use the Mater Amabilis curriculum.

Mater Amabilis translated from Latin means Mother Most Lovable and is a title of Our Lady in the Litany of Loreto (Mother Most Amiable). Mary, under the title of Mater Amabilis, is our patron and our model. The inspiration for the name comes from the Catholic parish of the same name in Ambleside, England where Charlotte Mason lived and worked.
