Starting the homeschool journey can be an overwhelming and intimidating process. How do you decide which curriculum to use? How should your home be set up for learning? What does the law require of homeschoolers? Is there a right way to homeschool? This session is designed to address beginning topics like state homeschool laws, how to choose curriculum, understanding your children’s learning styles, finding support for you and your homeschool, and making learning a lifestyle. It’s my hope that you’ll leave this session feeling equipped and confident for the school year ahead.

One of the great benefits of homeschooling is the opportunity to personalize your children’s education. A key ingredient in tailoring education is understanding each child’s individual learning style. This facilitates easier learning, adds fun to school, and aids in choosing curriculum. This workshop will give you the tools to determine your child’s learning style and ideas for how to better teach them. Additionally, you’ll be able to learn about your learning and teaching style, too!

Teaching multiple ages at once is no small task—it can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and frustrating. But with the right systems and mindset, it can become one of the most fruitful parts of your homeschool. In this session, Kathie Morrissey, homeschool mom of eight, will show you how to turn the chaos into calm. You’ll learn practical strategies to structure your days, foster independence, and keep everyone on track—even when you’re juggling toddlers and teens. You’ll walk away encouraged and equipped with tools to make school time more peaceful, productive, and purpose driven.

Parenting. It’s exhausting and exhilarating. Frustrating and fascinating. Like all things that are God-breathed, it’s a Kingdom-building exercise. It’s a masterful strategy, this idea of using all-night feedings and miscarriage and labor and teenagers (see how teens and labor go hand-in-hand?) and even homeschooling to teach us to trust the heart of the Father. But that’s exactly what God wants you to learn to do. Join Heidi St. John for an hour of encouragement and inspiration that will lift you up and remind you of the WHY of homeschooling.
