Workshops and speakers

    • “I loved the Simply Charlotte Mason speaker [Sonya Shafer]. She was great, and refreshingly objective about various approaches.”
    • “I enjoyed listening to Norm Wakefield’s presentations.”
    • “[My favorite part was] the seminar speakers, by far! I love hearing from others who have been down this road. The encouragement I receive from them, the Bible studies they share empowering this journey, stay with me throughout the entire year.”
    • “[The most valuable thing I gained was] the info from HSLDA about struggling learners and info about homeschooling high school.”

Vendor hall

    • “[The most valuable thing for me was] the opportunity to see materials in person.”
    • “Seeing and looking through curriculum was very helpful.”

Other conference highlights

    • “I left the conference feeling renewed in both my spiritual walk and in my ability to teach another year.”
    • “[I gained] confidence and encouragement that God can (and is) in my homeschool and it doesn’t have to be MY perfection or organization or intellect that makes it succeed.”
    • “Loved seeing all the youth entrepreneurs!”
    • “Y’all are doing an awesome job!”
