Ambleside School Of Ocala's mission is to provide what Charlotte Mason called a living education, where each child is guided and empowered to author a full and free life, self, others, ideas, and all of creation.
Thus, our primary concern is the kind of student each child is becoming, not the mastery of particular data or technique, for we are confident that the student who masters the art of learning will attain his full potential for mastering data and technique.
The student who masters the art of relating well to God, self, others, ideas, and creation will attain the fullness of life for which the studen is created.
Our mission is fulfilled through a consistent application of our fundamental convictions as applied to education.
