Welcome!

 

Welcome to Our Blog!

Dome School Academy launched in August of 2020. We are a homeschool family that consists of me (mom), dad and our 6- and 12-year-old daughters. We live on 2.5 acres in a small rural town east of Colorado Springs, CO. We have 7 hens, 1 rooster and a betta fish.

   We never thought we would be homeschoolers. Our 12-year-old attended a classical charter school from K-3^rd grade. Then COVID hit mid third grade. Everyone started remote schooling. We took a liking to the process of being involved in the education of our daughter, and her little sister wanted to be a big girl and “do school” too.

   Forward thinking to the next school year in fall of 2020, the pandemic situation did not improve, and we did not like the prospect of remote schooling for her 4^th grade school year. We prayerfully took the plunge and decided to officially homeschool for her 4^th grade school year. We also purchased preschool curriculum for the younger daughter and started her early since she was so eager to learn.

   We really have not looked back since and are closing in on the end of our third-year home schooling. This blog documents our journey of the alternate path that is homeschooling. We are by no means experts in ANY subject posted on this blog! Just a family of curious thinkers having fun!

   Oh yeah, what’s up with the name “Dome School Academy?” My husband built a geodesic shaped greenhouse as his “COVID” project which we have grown produce in every year. It inspired our new homeschool- DOME school!
