Teaching your children – and helping them to be all that they were created to be – is a challenging, complex journey filled with doubts and joy, despair and love, and everything in between.

You wonder if you're up for this staggeringly formidable task.
The answer is "Yes!" And you're not alone. We're here for you.

“Welcome Home” to the encouragement and motivation you’ll experience at our 2023 Conference, where you’ll gather new ideas, strategies, vision, and perspective.

Soak in useful information from our outstanding speakers, shop in our expansive exhibit hall, and tap into the special tracks, youth programs, and other custom-designed programming for homeschooling families.

You’ll enjoy an amazing weekend recharging, learning, and connecting. You’ll gain just what you need to walk this beautiful, sometimes challenging, but always incredibly vital homeschooling journey with your family.
