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".

Thinking Like God

This is an amazing video. Why am I sharing it on a homeschooling blog? Because we want to raise our children to think God's thoughts, as young Albert Einstein did:




**Editing this to add that AFTER I chose the title to this blog, and explained myself, I discovered that Albert Einstein said the following: "I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."
