Dawn Helton
Hello! I have been married for over 24 years and have 4 children. I started my homeschooling adventure over 10 years ago when we pulled our oldest out of public school. I quickly learned that I loved being a lead learner and started teaching Classical Conversations beginning with Foundations and then adding in Essentials (a writing and grammar program). I currently teach writing at Homeschool Connect and substitute at North Point Christian Academy in various grades. In my spare time, I ride rescue as an Attendant in Charge at Bensley Bermuda Vol. Rescue Squad where I am also Vice President. My family and I love serving at our home church Western Heights Baptist Church and spending time together. I look forward to investing in your child’s homeschool journey and helping them develop a lifelong love of learning.
