Although Charlotte Mason does not use many standard textbooks, it still requires a curriculum of carefully selected books (history, biography, and the like) to provide the child with a well-rounded body of knowledge on each of the subjects. The typical schedule will feature short lessons (10 to 20 minutes per subject for the younger children, but longer for older ones) with an emphasis on excellent execution and focused attention, whether that is in thinking through a challenging math problem, looking carefully at a painting and then describing it, copying just a few words neatly, or listening to a short Bible episode and telling it back.
