The Gentle Learning Company

Promoting whole-family, Christ-centered, gentle, Charlotte Mason-inspired learning.

Created by Brenda Scott, director of a Classical and Charlotte Mason-inspired community in Lynchburg, VA: STAR Homeschool (STAR= Seeking Truth and Righteousness). Brenda uses her love of living books and her obsession with spreadsheets to create flexible and customizable reading plans for whole-family learning. She’s been a homeschool mom & adoptive mom for many years & enjoys encouraging other moms. Brenda’s BIG goals for STAR and The Gentle Learning Company are to get Scripture and hymns stuck in the heads of families everywhere, and to promote a gentle homeschool environment that relies on living books, nature study, life skills, and beautiful enrichment subjects.
