Ambleside is a nonprofit private Christian school for the Hill Country, committed to setting the standard for practice in Charlotte Mason education and establishing a resource and seedbed for educators and schools. Our long-term goal is to create a global Ambleside community of schools united in the practice of Ambleside education. Ambleside provides a broad and varied curriculum of inspirational and disciplinary subjects, through direct encounter with literary living books and living art, music, science, mathematics, geography, language, nature, and handwork. We offer small classes, minimal homework in the elementary school, and noon dismissal for lower primary grades. No standardized tests or letter grades are used. Our main pedagogical method is written or oral narration. Twice yearly essay exam periods are an important educational tool at Ambleside. An opportunity for students to bring forth and show what knowledge they have attained, exam time is a call to synthesize and summarize, master and make sense of main ideas and facts, while developing the child's competence in clear thinking and verbal expression. At Ambleside, all children participate in the broad curriculum-all children calculate, solve, attend, explore, ponder, recite, paint, and sing. We strive to offer students the richest materials along with our highest expectations of what they can accomplish. We expect every student to learn and grow to full potential as a person, born in the image of God, into a vast inheritance. Ambleside School admits students of any race, color and national or ethnic origin.

The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country is a nonprofit, community corporation created by and for the people of the Texas Hill Country. We are here to help our donors do good work…Forever. In 2000 the Community Foundation expanded its geographic reach to serve a larger Hill Country area including Fredericksburg, Comfort, Medina, Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt, and Center Point. A community foundation has three distinct features and it is the combination of these features that provide unique opportunities for donors and our community. The first feature is a permanent endowment. Permanent endowment means the foundation invests and protects donor's gifts, distributes earnings via grants, builds permanent community capital to meet the needs of future generations, and creates legacies for donors. In this way each donor's gifts works within our community today and tomorrow. The second distinct feature is its broad and flexible purpose. The Community Foundation monitors all areas of community needs in the Hill Country today and tomorrow including arts, education, youth, seniors, community services, health care, and rehabilitation needs. The foundation's knowledge of the community is one of the greatest services we can provide our donors. We can help our donor's maximize the impact of their gifts in our community. The third distinct feature of a community foundation is personalized giving. To help our donors have the greatest flexibility, the Community Foundation accepts a variety of gifts including cash, stocks, property, and bequests. In addition donors have the opportunity to be involved in establishing a fund in their name or the name of a loved one. Donors can give what they want, how they want, when they want…and receive maximum tax advantages. We invite you to join the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country…your community foundation…in providing a platform for building our community…For good. For ever.SM

We believe it's important to think and act locally. By this we mean, whenever possible buy locally grown and produced foods for your table. When you support your independent, local farms, you not only help your environment, but the planet as a whole. Reducing transportation emissions and excess packaging, makes a difference for the environment and for our bodies. More importantly, nothing tastes quite as good as something picked and prepared fresh the very same day! Whether you're a local or a visitor, if you haven't made your way to our market yet this season, now is a great time to stop by and support our local farms!
Our market is held on Thursdays, May - September, from 4:00 - 7:00pm. We're located at Markplatz Kinderhalle.
