Marie Romero

Mrs. Marie Romero

Mrs. Marie E. Romero was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She spent childhood summers reading in the back of the family station wagon en route to visit grandparents in the deserts and mountains of Arizona. At age ten, she moved to New Orleans and lived there through high school. That eclectic and musical city, as well family in Alaska, Arizona, Michigan, Texas, and England, inspired a lasting fascination with language and with the historical blend of cultures and dialects. 

Mrs. Romero graduated with a B.A. in English from Texas A&M University. While a focused student, she enjoyed college life: participating in various ministries at St. Mary’s Student Center and joining the Century Singers. Performing beautiful choral music in Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic impressed her greatly as her first voyage abroad. 

These life experiences from childhood to young adulthood convinced her that true education is much more than an accumulation of facts. She wanted a life-giving education for her children and, after much research and much more prayer, found it in the fine-tuned principles and classical philosophy of Charlotte Mason. 

With over ten years’ experience teaching homeschoolers, Mrs. Romero continues to pursue her own education. She is a perpetually promised member of the Lay Dominicans, a graduate of the CiRCE Apprenticeship, and currently an adult student at the House of Humane Letters. Recent literary interests include The Inklings (and various other authors and literary critics) and their efforts to save literature as an art form with the power to reveal eternal realities. 

Marie and her family attend Holy Rosary Catholic Church in downtown Houston. In her spare time, she enjoys harmonizing with any song, playing her violin or dabbling on the piano, writing poetry, reading aloud, and exploring new places while capturing photos of flora and birdsongs.
