Like the idea of attending a homeschool convention?
Hate the thought of paying high registration fees, incurring travel expenses, and figuring out child care while you’re gone?
Then you’ll love the Schoolhouse Expo!
Schoolhouse Expo 2010
Whether you live internationally, rurally, or attend a local convention offered to your community, you won’t want to miss The Schoolhouse Expo.
Convenient. Sponsored by The Old Schoolhouse magazine, and featuring a stellar lineup of speakers, the Schoolhouse Expo offers all the perks of a homeschool conference—but without the hassle—including:
- Popular keynote speakers like Susan Wise Bauer, Diana Waring, and Todd Wilson
- Vendor booths
- Freebies
- Door prizes
- And so much more!
Flexible. Unable to listen to all the sessions live? The Schoolhouse Expo lets you choose! All sessions will be recorded. Plan to attend some sessions live, and then listen to any or all workshop audios at your convenience—all year long.
Practical. The Schoolhouse Expo will help your home and homeschool run more smoothly with suggestions, encouragement, and practical, how-to information. You’ll enjoy the fresh ideas, camaraderie, and affirmation that homeschooling works—all from a solid, Christian perspective.
Join WriteShop at the Expo
Attend Kim’s workshop. As one of the featured speakers, I’m excited to share tips and ideas on Growing Your Child’s Writing Vocabulary. The live session will include a Q and A time.- Visit WriteShop’s virtual vendor booth.
