Homeschooling: a great option for families of children with special needs

In this workshop, Will discusses the state of special education laws, how families of children with special needs can benefit from the flexibility offered by homeschooling, and the special considerations that families will need to plan for during the process of withdrawing from public school, educating a child with special needs, and graduating a child with special needs. Participants will be equipped with the resources they will need to homeschool a child with special needs.

How Am I Qualified to Homeschool?

Do you hear this all the time?  Do you want some ways to answer this question? I know I did. I will share ways to answer this question in a positive way. Come join us for some encouragement and fun in this session and we discuss this hot topic of being qualified to homeschool our own children. Bring your Bibles as we will reference several passages there where we are genuinely given the needed qualifications.
 

Managing Interruptions

Managing interruptions can be overwhelming. We will discuss ways to prepare for those unforeseen interruptions during the homeschool day. We will also discuss scheduling, along with organizing and building an environment that keeps outside interruptions at bay. We will talk about what to do with lesson plans when interruptions seem to be interfering and making you feel further and further behind. Don’t let the interruptions get you down. They happen to all of us. There is a way to get through them and still be successful. Come join this session and be encouraged.

Understanding the Phases of High School

Want to know what your teen should be focusing on to prepare for college and a career? In this session we will break high-school down into four crucial phases that build on each other, and give you the tools to determine what should be the priority for this next year, how to be career focused (rather than just preparing for college), and even talk about often-overlooked phase that comes after high school.

SET FREE TO HOMESCHOOL: It's Not Traditional School

You can be Set Free To Homeschool differently than traditional school.

Our kids didn’t just survive—they’re thriving as confident, capable adults.

Homeschooling Without Regret: Real Talk from the other Side

Homeschooling nine kids over 32 years? It’s been a wild, joy-filled ride—with plenty of laughter, a few tears, and more than a handful of “wish I’d known that sooner” moments. In this workshop, I’ll share the honest lessons learned from my own journey (and from fellow homeschoolers who’ve walked similar paths). You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, and how to course-correct when things feel off-track. Whether you're just starting out or deep in the trenches, this session offers practical tips and heartfelt encouragement to help you homeschool with intention, flexibility, and fewer regrets. Let’s talk about how to begin well, finish strong, and keep joy at the center of it all.

 Encouraging and Equipping Families Facing Learning and Behavioral Challenges

Homeschooling offers unique opportunities for growth as well as struggles that need to be addressed.  It can at times be overwhelming for parents.   When learning and behavioral differences are part of daily life, parents can become discouraged.   Managing special needs can be a heavy load.   Remember, God is faithful! 

Teaching the Heart, Not the Mind

When we homeschool, we have a tremendous opportunity to follow the Biblical mandate to "Train up a child in the way he should go." The question is, "How do we do that?" The key is to teach and train the hearts of our children, and not just their minds. Join Lani Carey as she explores the importance of teaching the heart and shares how to produce thoughtful young adults who are leaders, empowered to take control of their own education and their own lives. In other words, young adults who make Godly decisions that affect not only their own lives, but the lives of all those around them.
