“The schedule is great. We have time to hear speakers, chat with each other, & shop.  I’d love more time for each, but that might require a week!”  — Attendee
"The conference was like a mini retreat as always!! Thank you So MUCH! Every year it is just what I need to quit doubting myself! Trust in the Lord for he Is Good!”    — Attendee
“This conference is continually the best-run conference we have ever attended. Very impressive! Registration is smooth, vendors feel welcomed and valued, conference staff is polite, always ready to help and always easy to locate. Communications before and during the conference is excellent.” --Vendor
“I have never been to Minnesota for this conference, but so thought it was worth it. I got two other ladies to travel 400 miles with me for it -- and I felt it was such a blessing. It was also SO AFFORDABLE.  I just couldn't believe that part.”    — Attendee
“As a brand new homeschooling parent I found the Catholic Home Education Conference to be the best first step in our journey! I felt like I had stepped into a community that was eager to walk the journey with us. The vendors helped steer me towards what was best for my family, and the other attendees felt like family just moments after entering the conference.”  -- Attendee

​Why attend a homeschool conference?
Conferences inspire us. Conferences make us step back and contemplate our homeschool in order to ask ourselves how are we doing and is there anything we need to change. Conferences remind us that we are parents first to our children and teachers second. Conferences give us the encouragement to continue to say YES to God’s calling for our family.  Read more
