School Overview
Overview
The Ambleside School of Fredericksburg, Texas is a private Christian school intentionally forming habits based on the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason.
Ambleside's administration and faculty provides what Charlotte Mason called a "living education," where each child is guided and empowered to author a full and free life, a life rich in relationship to God, self, others, ideas, and creation.
Thus, our primary concern is the kind of student each child is becoming, not the mastery of particular data or technique, for we are confident that the student who masters the art of learning will attain his full potential for mastering data and technique.
The student who masters the art of relating well to God, self, others, ideas, and creation will attain the fullness of life for which she was created.
Our mission is fulfilled through a consistent application of our Fundamental Convictions as applied to education.
As Creator of heaven and earth, God is vital to the understanding of any academic discipline.
Heritage teaches all subjects as parts of an integrated whole with Scripture at the center.
As a result, Heritage seeks to develop young men and women marked by a growing faith, an intellectual acuity, an aesthetic sensitivity, a discerning spirit, and a strong moralcharacter.
