Comments

  • We have been set on an exciting course because of this conference. Although we had considered going in the past, we were not sure if the conference would offer things that were of interest to us. After attending, all we can say is "Wow!" The conference left us inspired, refreshed, and refocused, with many tips, ideas, and resources for our family.
  • Friends told me that the WPA conference was "not to be missed," so my expectations were high. Now I agree and will tell others: "Don't miss it!"
  • I have previously attended other homeschooling conferences, and none of them had the caliber of speakers this conference has.
