A Life-Giving Homeschool doesn’t have to be complicated
You want to create a custom education for your unique family, but you also kinda want someone to hold your hand and tell you what to do.
Because while you like having choices… The decision fatigue is starting to become WAY too real!
Can someone give me a map please…
You’re knee-deep in the homeschool planning swamp and can’t find the way out!
You’ve made the brave choice to provide your children with an education that breaks out of the grind of our modern, performance-based system.
You want to honor your child as a person and help them grow spiritually, physically, and morally—not just academically.
You want to prepare your child for the future—no matter what path they choose after high school.
You want your children to read the very best books, but stacks keep piling up as you try to decide what to read for what subjects.
You have big ideals and an even bigger heart, and you want ongoing support throughout the school year from like-minded homeschooling parents.
But you find yourself lost and confused from the multitude of educational philosophies, curriculum companies, and voices telling you “this is the only right way.”
Let me put on my Wellies, cuz I’m coming for ya friend!
Say goodbye to
The late nights printing resources off the internet.
The seven different teacher guides you’ve dog-eared to death.
The annual plan you keep rewriting, hoping for perfection.
The stacks of workbooks filled with half-done pages.
Feeling alone whenever you have questions about homeschooling.
And say hello to done-for-you, family-centered planning made easy
We give you the tools and resources to create a Charlotte Mason education that meets the needs of YOUR unique family. Our full year of lesson plans have lesson plans for all subjects for grades 1-12.
Your children may forget the daily lessons, but they will always remember how they felt during their time at home.
^^^ So let’s kick the stress to the curb, and show up with calm confidence in your homeschool plan!

The four CYCLES
A Gentle Feast is modeled around Charlotte Mason’s approach to history. Your children will start with the history of their own country, where they can experience what they’re learning in person.

” AGF has allowed me to homeschool my children with my TRUE heart’s desire by organizing all of the things”
I have desired to follow the Charlotte Mason method for YEARS, but it seemed so daunting to pull together all of the resources. My homeschool mama heart was broken because I felt I was cheating my children by following a “curriculum” that looked just like the broken system I never wanted them to experience, and as a former teacher in brick and mortal traditional schools, it was a huge fear to let go of the “known”.
– Katie
“When I stumbled upon AGF, I honestly cried.
It is everything I was
looking for”
I literally researched, purchased, and tried other businesses attempting to sell off their material as “Charlotte Mason” for years… but, it just wasn’t. Everything I tried fell beyond short and ended up being busywork.
– Michelle
AGF is truly a Charlotte Mason curriculum instead of just CM-inspired, plus it works for all of my children (15, 12 and 9) in their varying levels of understanding/ability. The lessons being planned out for me was also a huge selling point- I used to spend a ridiculous amount of time lesson planning. Now I only need a couple minutes a week plus about a week in the summer and I’m good to go.
– Sharon
“AGF curriculum was a tool, but not a command”
I’ve noticed some snotty, purist attitudes in Charlotte Mason circles. I’m a box-checker and a rule-follower, and I’m sad to say that I applied that kind of bondage to my kids and to our homeschool, too. I learned from AGF that we should spread the feast that works in our household, and that the AGF curriculum was a tool, but not a command. It took me a long time to feel free like that, and it’s been revolutionary.
– Samara
You don’t have to do it alone.
I was once exactly where you are today, carrying the weight of homeschooling—wondering if you’re doing enough, struggling to piece together resources, and craving a rhythm that actually works. I’ve been there.
But after years of trial and error, I discovered a way to homeschool with confidence, joy, and peace. A way that brings structure without rigidity, connection without chaos, and learning that truly nourishes both you and your children.
That’s why I created The Feast Table Membership—so you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Inside, you’ll find everything you need: a complete step-by-step plan, a supportive community, and the tools to help you create a homeschool you love.
You could always pay over $700 for all these resources.

Got a question? Yo’ I’ll solve it
If you aren’t sure which cycle to start with, watch this video for help: https://vimeo.com/318497753
The History cycles keep repeating all the way through high school. The next time your child is in Cycle 1, they will be promoted to a higher form, thus with new material. You will follow the alternative Morning Time options your second time through the cycle.
Here’s a scope and sequence: https://agentlefeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Scope-and-Sequence-2023.pdf
AGF follows Charlotte Mason’s prescription to start with the history of your own country.
Volume 1, pg. 281 “The early history of a nation is better fitted than its later records for the study of children, because the story moves on a few broad, simple lines; while statesmanship, so far as it exists, is no more than the efforts of a resourceful mind to cope with circumstances… In the early years, while there are no examinations ahead, and the children may yet go leisurely, let them get the spirit of history … stir your heart with the story of a great event, amuse you with pageants and shows, make you intimate with the great people, and friendly with the lowly. A child who has been carried through a single old chronicler in this way has a better foundation than if he knew all the dates and names and facts that ever were crammed for examination.”
See this blog post to learn more about Charlotte Mason’s approach to History.
Each cycle currently comes with a Canadian history option. This is digital only and not included in the printed Teacher book.
This chart shows you how the forms in A Gentle Feast are set up in comparison to US grades and the PNEU (Charlotte Mason’s programme)

YES!!!!! This is what makes The Feast Table Membership so unique. We’ve taken all the parts of the FEAST- Morning Time, LanguageArts, Main Subject, and Enrichment and put them ALL into one easy to use portal.
This varies by form, but here is a list of subjects that are scheduled. You will need to access the living books scheduled, but many are obtainable from the library or in the public domain.
Bible Time
Beauty Loop (Poet Study, Picture Study, Composer Study, Hymn Study, Recitation, Fables/Hero Tales)
Literature
Geography (map work and a scheduled reader)
Natural History
Copywork, Dictation, and Creative Writing
Science (forms II and up)
*For Form IV, I have scheduled lessons from Sabbath Mood Homeschool’s Science guides. These guides will need to be purchased separately.
Grammar (forms II and up)
History
Shakespeare and Plutarch (forms III and up)
Read Alouds (forms I and II)
Singing (forms I and II)
Nature Study
French, Spanish, and Latin plans
I really want to say true Miss Mason’ recommendations to not start formal lessons until age 6. That doesn’t mean your kindergartener or preschooler sits around all day. They are welcome to listen to the read alouds and participate in morning time, though neither of these should be mandatory.
As part of The Feast Table Membership, I include monthly resources for Kindergarten students.
These years are vital for the laying the foundation for learning. I HIGHLY recommend reading Charlotte Mason’s first volume, Home Education during this time. Kindergarten is perfect time to learn letters and sounds using our phonemic awareness program 100 Gentle Lessons Letters in Sight and Sound and learning how to form letters with our 100 Gentle Lessons in Manuscript handwriting.
As a mom of 5 children, I totally get this. One year I had students in every form. I wrote A Gentle Feast with the goal of creating a family-centered program. The morning time brings everyone together with each different level reciting their own poems and reading their own fables. All your children will be studying the same time period, so they can listen to each other’s narrations or you may want to choose one spine to read aloud to several children. The nature study topics can also be done as a family. As Charlotte Mason used forms instead of grades, some of your children will naturally be combined. By looking at the booklist, you can continue to combine further. History and Geography are natural subjects to easily combine. Once students are reading well, I highly recommend each child reading their own literature independently (whether by eye or ear-for dyslexic and other learning exceptions). This can be nuanced and each family is so different. For more specifics, I highly recommend asking for input in our incredibly supportive Facebook group.
In the parent packet, I have included a sample schedule and tips for scheduling your day according to Charlotte Mason’s principles. Depending on when you start, morning lessons should be finished by lunch time for all but Form IV. Activities for afternoon occupations are included.
Welcome to the beautifully rich world of a Charlotte Mason Education! I created AGF to provide families with the hand holding I wish I would’ve had when I first started homeschooling. When you purchase AGF, you get an Introduction Course where I teach you how to get started with the curriculum and the foundational principles of A Charlotte Mason Education. In the portal, I walk you through how to approach each subject in a Charlotte Mason education. I also HIGHLY recommend reading For the Children’s Sake by Susan Shaeffer Macaulay. You can also sign up for my free beginner’s course HERE.
Since we follow the philosophy of Charlotte Mason, we have built our curriculum on her principles which need to be understood in order to use the curriculum in the most effective way. Miss Mason states in principle 20: “We allow no separation to grow up between the intellectual and ‘spiritual’ life of children, but teach them that the Divine Spirit has constant access to their spirits, and is their Continual Helper in all the interests, duties and joys of life.”
Another helpful quote by Miss Mason is:
“This idea of all education springing from and resting upon our relation to Almighty God-we do not merely give a religious education because that would seem to imply the possibility of some other education, a secular education, for example. But we hold that all education is divine, that every good gift of knowledge and insight comes from above, that the Lord the Holy Spirit is the supreme educator of mankind, and that the culmination of all education (which may at the same time be reached by a little child) is that personal knowledge of and intimacy with God in which our being finds its fullest perfection.”
I would also encourage you to think through what a Christian worldview truly means. Charlotte Mason’s view was not to give children cleaned up moralizing books with only one viewpoint. She believed that all true ideas were divinely inspired and that these ideas were best conveyed through living books, nature, and beauty.
