    Looking Back: Exploring the Dominion Lifestyle with Alumna Tessa Cyrus

    In this episode of the Dominion Dispatch, we talk with Tessa Cyrus, a graduate of Dominion Christian School. Tessa reflects on her time at Dominion, discussing the unique Dominion lifestyle that combines critical thinking skills in the classroom with a close-knit community outside of it. She shares how this upbringing prepared her for college, allowing her to navigate different perspectives and engage in discourse with others who have differing opinions. Tessa also highlights the immense value of having a biblical worldview at Dominion, which gave her a strong foundation to hold cultural ideas up against what God says. She emphasizes the importance of finding beauty in the small things and unexpected moments, as well as the deep connections she formed with teachers and classmates. Tessa concludes by expressing her desire to send her future children to a school like Dominion, recognizing the unparalleled quality of education and the supportive network it provides.
