We'll be closing the AO forum, FB group, and MeWe group on December 18 to allow our moderators, and all our members, to take a break from our online discussions and enjoy this time with family.  May you have a blessed Christmas season!

December 17 will be a Christmas party, so we'll have a ChitChat post where you can share recipes, games, and other Christmas cheer.
The AO forum will reopen on January 1, Charlotte Mason's birthday.
Facebook and MeWe will reopen on January 7, after Epiphany (and Orthodox Christmas).

While the forum and other groups are closed, you will still be able to read and search.

I see And the Word Came with Power has been added to Y7 and is on the site book list and schedule, but I am not finding it on the Master Booklist. I just downloaded the August 2024 version, but I'm not finding it.

I can’t find where the forum Amble Ramble is. Is it open to teens? How can I get to it?

Is there a way to change my user name? It is currently set as "cfrayer", but I would like to change it to my full name (Cara Frayer).

AO Advisory member Anne White is offering this Charlotte Mason citizenship book for *free* on Kindle today and tomorrow - Remembrance Day/Veterans Day. You can find it on Amazon - just look up “The Practical Plutarch.”

Thank you, Anne!

And thank you, always, to all who served.

How do I edit the title in the thread subject line? A pop-up tells me to "click and hold to edit" and then I get a field that I can type into. But when I try to post, I get a message saying there was an error because you can only edit posts for 1000 minutes. What about all the posts I see on Buy & Sell where people go back and add SOLD to the title? Do all those books listings really sell out within 1000 minutes of the post? Or I am missing something when I try to edit? Thanks.

The Charlotte Mason Series in Modern English is now re-published, all six volumes, at Amazon in both paperback and Kindle!

Join us today - for an AO Day of Prayer. We'd like to focus on our AO Community in the path - and aftermath - of Hurricane Helene. It's been heartbreaking to see the devastation, and we at AmblesideOnline want to lift this entire area in prayer. 

Feel free to post your prayers here, your current status (if you are impacted, or you know others who are), and suggestions for how to help. 

If you've been affected by the storm, know that we are praying, we are deeply concerned for you and yours, and we hope you stay focused on your safety. School of any kind is secondary. But when you do need to start to think about that, remember AO's HELP plan, first created after Hurricane Katrina, to be an anchor in the sea of chaos that follows hard times. 

Albrecht Durer's Praying Hands is not just this term's art - it's a powerful reminder. We look to Jesus right now - and we pray for all of you who have been affected by this. Lord, we ask - and we keep on asking, in Your Name!

Hello! The Amazon affiliate link for “The Normans: The History of a Dynasty” leads to an “Oops!” page on Amazon.

Hey! Question for the advisory- probably a big request but some of us in the southern hemisphere run on a different school year schedule (Feb to December) so our use of site/riches are not on the same USA timeline. I noticed a few weeks ago when referencing links to our composer they were gone and all 2023-2024 stuff has been removed. I see it’s available in rotation like 10+ years from now but was wondering if it’s possible to leave up 2023-2024 stuff up until the end of 2024? Or is that too confusing for the masses who use it from the USA? 

Thank you,

The y9 link for the episodes description in the footnotes gives me an error message. Is there somewhere I can see what they are? Thanks.

I went on to Year 12 yesterday to download the PDF of the schedule for all 3 terms. However, only Term 1 and Term 2 are coming up. Double checked today and had my husband look from work. Same thing. Can someone take a look and see why Term 3 for Year 12 Schedule is not showing? I appreciate any help! T

Is there a way to have search results show only the main thread instead of individual posts?

We have a set of Help documents to explain how to do things on the forum.

If you are looking for something there and can't find it, please mention that here.

If you find something there that is incomplete or inaccurate, please mention that here.

There used to be a link to the AO homepage at the top of the forum. I am not seeing it now. Did it go away, or am I just not seeing it somehow?

If you are using Tapatalk to access the forum, or especially if your teen is using Tapatalk to access the forum, you should pay attention to the ads.  For some users, the ads have become extremely inappropriate and hard to avoid.  What you see may not be the same as what your teen sees.  We have no control over the ads.

Many people use the forum on a phone or other smaller device using a browser.  Once you get used to it, it's not too difficult.  
We do hope to have a mobile-friendly template available for the forum in a few weeks.
Tapatalk has a paid option that lets you avoid ads.  We are not affiliated with Tapatalk and do not benefit financially from this, but this option might help you in the interim.

Hallo!!!!
A few of the teens have been wondering about the new formatting. Is it going to go back to the way it used to be or is it going to stay this way?
I mainly ask because it's a bit harder to see the titles of the threads are since they are squinched into smaller boxes.
Thank you so much for all you do! <3

Now that emails are working again, we'll be contacting you (or attempting to contact you) if your email is bouncing.  We'll send you a Private Message to let you know that it is bouncing.  We can't let emails continue to bounce, so we'll have to put your account in a Parked status if we can't correct the problem with your email.

You can avoid this by making sure the email address on your account is up-to-date and working properly.  Also, you can shut off email notification for your subscriptions if you don't want to receive the emails.  Do this in User CP (upper left in a browser).  You can't change your account settings in Tapatalk.  You can also unsubscribe from emails using the link at the bottom of the emails you are receiving.

On the Year 10 lite schedule there are three Frederick Douglass readings listed: Reconstruction, An Appeal to Congress for Impartial Suffrage, My Escape From Slavery but I can only find one, My Escape from Slavery on the grid schedule. I can find the other two listed on the Year 10 detailed schedule.

Hi there! May I please have my username changed? I guess when I first registered I used my email address. I'm planning to use the Forum regularly now so I would love a change! How about CynthiaAnn or CynthiaT
