Dominion Academy is comprised of a home educating family of six currently learning in Florida. Our scholars are taught primarily through the methods Charlotte Mason advocated.

Charity by William Bouguereau

"Charity" depicts a woman caring for and protecting young children- giving them her nurturing and knowledge. The nurturing is represented by her bared breasts...illustrating her willingness to give of herself for their well being. Under her left foot is an overturned jug with gold and silver coins flowing out of it. This symbol reveals that there is no cost too great for their happiness. By her right foot a boy is leaning on a pile of books, showing her intent to educate them and give them the gift of knowledge. (Interpretation from the Art Renewal Site) Let us so care for, nurture and educate the young ones entrusted to us. Remember Charlotte's words: "For the Children's Sake".

Homeschooling and Entrepreneurship


I have heard that homeschooling and entrepreneurship are like two peas in a pod. If you are going to take charge of your childrens' education, you may just be the type of person to take charge of your own career as well. Furthermore, just as homeschooling frees a family in their time and activities together, so may entrepreneurship. For a homeschooling mother, starting her own business and working from home may also be an answer to her family's need for increased income.

For a long time now I have wanted to work from home. Yet I have four young children, two of whom I am homeschooling. This season in my life is precious, but at the same time probably the most difficult one I'll ever have. If I were to work at home, my business would have to utilize my talents and interests, so as not to add undue stress to my already full schedule. My question, though, has been what? What can I do?

I have not received much in the way of answers yet, but I know God will reveal His will for me in this area when it is time. I am currently researching a book that I feel led to write, and have pondered getting paid to write now, which is something that I need to look into.

I recently found the following websites which I am hoping will be tools to help me reach my goal for generating income from home. Perhaps they will help you also.
