Session: Busting Homeschool Myths:

Homeschooling is often misunderstood and surrounded by outdated myths that can discourage families from exploring it as a viable education option. This workshop addresses the most common misconceptions about homeschooling—academics, socialization, time commitment, parent qualifications, and college readiness—and replaces them with practical, real-world insight.

Participants will gain a clearer understanding of what homeschooling actually looks like today, how it works for a wide range of families, and why it continues to produce confident, capable learners. Whether you are new to homeschooling, considering it, or simply curious, this session will provide clarity, encouragement, and realistic expectations.
