Art at AMBLESIDE SCHOOL

Thank you for your interest in Ambleside School. Our school was founded in 1999 as an independent, K-8, Christ-centered school. Ambleside is affiliated with a worldwide network of schools, Ambleside Schools International.

At Ambleside School, we believe that God creates each child with a natural hunger for knowledge and that the mind is fed by ideas more than by facts and information. These ideas, which inform our conscience and the choices that we make, find their source in God Himself, and are communicated to us through His Word, through people of the past and present, and through His creation.

We believe that education properly understood is not merely the assimilation of data and technique; it is the mind feeding on ideas given expression in God's creation, great art, beautiful music, and "living books." Real learning occurs when students engage with writers, poets, philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, artists, musicians, historians, and explorers; they wonder, asking why and how.

Mission Statement

Ambleside School is a Christ-centered school committed to providing a Charlotte Mason “living education.” In partnership with the family, we guide and empower each student to think with the mind of Christ and to author a life rich in relationship to God, self, others, ideas, and all of creation.
