    Whether you’re just beginning with a curious 6-year-old, dreaming about future homeschooling with your toddler, or deep in the trenches of algebra and beyond — this workshop offers something for everyone.

    Join us for an encouraging and practical evening with the well-loved Hope Unverzagt, who brings wisdom from over 25 years of homeschooling her 11 children. With warmth and clarity, Hope will walk us through the “why, when, where, what, how, and who” of Homeschooling Basics 101 in a relaxed, small-group setting.
