Bohemian Academics

Welcome to Bohemian Academics.

My name is Carmen Andrea Harris.

Bohemian Academics began the first time I taught my oldest daughter to read at age three - on the floor of our living room, surrounded by an alphabet floor puzzle, flash cards, homemade index cards, and love. I didn’t know then that those quiet moments would plant the seeds of a movement.

Rooted in my background as an educator, Bohemian Academics originally focused on early literacy. But everything shifted in 2020, when I made the decision to homeschool my daughters full time. Like so many families, we stepped out of the system - not just because of circumstance, but because many of us felt the gentle nudge of Holy Spirit to do so. Deep down our souls craved something more intentional, more connected, and more aligned with how children truly learn and grow.

Then came another layer of purpose. In 2018, I lost my husband — the father of my girls — and my entire world was reshaped. I walked through deep grief with my children in my arms, determined to help them heal, while trying to hold space for my own sorrow. That journey led me to pursue certification as a grief counselor and inner healing professional in 2022 — so I could support not just academic growth, but emotional healing for other women navigating loss, transition, and trauma.

Bohemian Academics is now a sacred blend of all of those callings:

• Home education that honors the whole child

• Grief-informed support for families living through change

• Digital learning grounded in peace, purpose, and presence

Whether you’re a new homeschooler, a mother rebuilding after grief, or a woman trying to do both — I created this space for you.

Because learning and healing don’t have to live in separate boxes.

They can happen side by side, in your living room, at your kitchen table, and in the quiet moments in between.

Welcome to where learning meets soul.

I’m so glad you’re here.
