Nurturing Hearts, Maturing Minds, Forming Character.

The question is not, how much does the youth know when he has finished his education, but how much does he care? And about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? And, therefore, how full is the life he has before him?

A LIVING EDUCATION

At Ambleside Ocala, we are dedicated to educational renewal inspired by the timeless philosophy of Charlotte Mason. Mason believed that children’s minds flourish when they engage with meaningful ideas—thoughts from great thinkers and writers that spark curiosity and growth. These enriching ideas create an “atmosphere of thought” around students, who absorb them through the books they read and the experiences they encounter, just as they take in air to live.

At Ambleside, your child is seen as a complete person, uniquely created by God with an innate desire to learn. Our approach is relational, engaging students with a rich and inspiring curriculum while gently cultivating habits that shape academic, moral, and interpersonal growth. Here, we partner with families to help children develop into thoughtful, capable, and compassionate individuals.

An Ambleside Parent Shared…

From the first day of school, I could tell Ambleside was going to be a different experience for my child. Normally his response to my question, “How was your day?,” would be “Boring” or “I have sooooo much homework.” But now when I ask “How was your day?,” his normal response is “Great!,” and he proceeds to tell me about the things he learned that day.

He talks for about thirty minutes about what was discussed at school…very unusual for an eleven year old. His focus has shifted from merely getting a particular grade on a test, to simply learning….and he’s learning a ton!”

If you have questions or would like additional information, we would be delighted to speak with you.

We are so glad that you are considering admission to Ambleside Ocala for your child. Learn more about our Admissions process.
