Cultivating Curiosity: Incorporating Nature Studies the Charlotte Mason Way into your School Curriculum
Legacy Classical Christian Academy (est. 2010) recently added the Charlotte Mason Model to their 2024-2025 curriculum. As a result, Nature Studies was added for PrK-6th grade students. Our new program has been wildly successful due to the new passion and enthusiasm our students have for exploring God’s amazing creation. Incorporating Nature Studies into your school curriculum can greatly increase your student’s curiosity and observational skill for all ages and doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming.

Currently, she is teaching nature studies and Latin at Legacy Classical Christian Academy in Haslet, Texas. She has five years of teaching and educational experience as a TA of the largest entomology class at OSU, a tutor of 11 college-level courses, a teaching and outreach intern, and a teacher at LCCA. Before her bachelor’s degree, Elizabeth attended a classical Christian University Model school learning how important that form of education is for preparing students for college and life in the broader culture. She loves to travel, sew, and enjoy God’s creation (especially moths!).
