One who can control disorder is free to LIVE.

One who can control himself is free to LEARN.

                    (S.V. Wilhelmi, From Creative Chaos to Livable Learning)

LIVABLE LEARNING is my term for a homeschool environment where both the child and the teacher (parent) create an environment that is conducive to learning. This is achieved externally through a simplified order of the household and the learning materials, while internally both the teacher and the student arrive at a greater self-discipline in how they think and in how they choose to act.

 

Maria Montessori, a physician and scientist from Italy, through her direct observations of children, pioneered many changes in educational philosophies in the early 1900's. The foundation of Livable Learning is Montessori education. Much of what Montessori tried to do in the Practical Life exercises of the classroom was designed to re-create a home environment. As homeschoolers we already have the optimal home environment, so there is no need for us to re-create what is naturally there. The application of "Livable Learning" introduces adaptations to make the Montessori Method more homeschool friendly.

We have many more features to add to this web site - our goal is to give you a choice to either make your own materials or to purchase them ready-made. My mission is to make Montessori education available to all, without limiting individuals or families because of lack of time, income or training.
