My  name is Erica Zamorano. I have been married to an amazing man for 16 years and have 2 children. Before I had my children, I was an elementary school classroom teacher, with experience in gifted instruction, as well as remedial reading. I had never planned on homeschooling! Once my kids were in school, I had grand plans of spending my days  attending PTA meetings, lunches with friends, and tennis lessons.  Oh, and eating bon bons by the pool. What a joke….

Fast forward 7 years later, and I am a die hard homeschooling mom. I fell into homeschooling when trying to find an educational fit for my son; there were no options other than homeschooling.At first, it was my only option,  now it is my passion.

While exploring homeschooling, I quickly identified with much of the philosophy in the Well Trained Mind and became excited about providing my family with such a rich educational experience. I searched for a class that would offer both "meaty" academic content and a positive social experience at the same time. I also wanted some relief from teaching all of the subjects, while also creating some free time in my schedule while my son was in class. I did not find anything that met all those criteria, so I created Classical Education Enrichment.

My goal is to provide our students with an opportunity for deep, creative, and academic learning experience as well as some community: eating lunch together, holiday celebrations, and being in regular contact with the same friends. It is also my vision that outside of class, the group can find and plan optional field trips on occasion & as educationally relevant. Due to liability issues, these trips will not be directly included as part of Classical Education Enrichment. I was blessed to find Mrs. Hering, who quickly understood my vision and made it a reality.

Students will need to be attentive and participatory in class in order for the rest of the students to benefit from class time. Regular disruptive or violent behavior will not be accepted as it would hinder the other student's ability to have a positive learning experience.
