By March 9, 2026No Comments

Enjoy some of the great homeschool conference feedback we’ve received so far, gleaned from attendee surveys. Thanks to all who attended, both online and in person!

Workshops and speakers

  • “One of the workshops had four high school students answer questions from the attendees. I thought this was a great idea, and we learned a lot about how students view their homeschool years.”
  • “Sonya Shafer! She was great. All her sessions were so informative and she is a great speaker.”
  • “Two of the executive functioning workshops were VERY informative. I will be using those techniques in my home starting tomorrow!”
  • “Loved Renton Rathbun’s breakdown of Nietzsche’s philosophy influencing Gen Z. Makes so much sense as to where people’s brains are at this point in history.”
  • “The workshops are so amazing and being able to purchase the recordings so I can hear all of the ones I miss!!”
  • “Got some great encouragement and tips to help me interact with my strong willed child.”
  • “My favorite two speakers this year were Dr. Daniel Schwabauer on Navigating Higher Education, and Dr. Sean Dikkers. Please invite them back again! I would love to hear them over and over.”
  • “I enjoyed the Gameschooling session and have added several of the recommended games to my wishlist!”
