“Classical education is like a very large museum with many beautiful, wonder-filled rooms that could be studied over a lifetime.

As homeschool parents work with their children on a one-on-one basis, they are blessed to see firsthand their children’s strengths and also their weaknesses. And sometimes these findings may take their journeys into unknown places. Slower readers. Dyslexia. Gifted. And much more. Thankfully, there are a huge number of homeschooling resources available to leave no family feeling empty-handed or alone. Great Homeschool Conventions is proud to bring you some of the most well-known experts of Special Needs and Gifted Homeschooling to our conventions.

Homeschooling is a natural extension of parenting. And, the more wisely we parent -- the better success we experience in homeschooling, and in helping our children grow, mature and prepare for their lives ahead. (Is there anything more important?)

Charlotte Mason (1842–1923) was a reformer and pioneer in the field of education. Her philosophy and methods of education are focused on educating the whole person, not just the mind.

This special track will provide an introduction to Charlotte Mason, as well as more advanced sessions for those already using the Charlotte Mason philosophy and methods.
