Curriculum Display – There will be a wide range of curricula on display, many of which are popular with homeschooling families: e.g. Sonlight, Math-U-see, Saxon Math, Apologia Science, Artistic Pursuits, just to name a few. Come and browse to your hearts’ content, and take the rare opportunity to speak to actual users of these resources.

Talks – Here are the topics! The talks are scheduled at half-hourly intervals, so you can just sit in for what you are interested in amidst navigating through the curriculum displays. These are fairly informal sessions by real homeschooling mums!
