Homeschool Experience

Dawn has thoroughly enjoyed her decade and a half of homeschooling experience. The early years were marked with a lot of adventures with her oldest two; Smithsonian museums, zoos, and Civil War battlefields and more, were explored. As God blessed her family with more children, Dawn ventured out less. But as her twins have grown, her family has become more involved in co-ops. She has taught a wide variety of classes locally, from Art & Architecture to History to high schoolers as well as music for elementary students. She has also taught and directed for classical programs.
