Dear friend,

This is the year we have been waiting for!

I have been part of the homeschooling movement for 53 years, ever since my mom started homeschooling me in 1968. I have watched it grow from nothing to a huge movement across America.

And now, this year, homeschooling is breaking out!

Recent California Department of Education numbers indicate a 239% increase since the 2018-2019 school year! That means the national homeschooling movement may have increased from 3,000,000 in 2019 to upwards of 8-10 million this year!

At the same time, American conservative and Christian leaders are pulling no punches, with a clear and clarion call to “Get your children out now!”

Leading conservative commentator, Dennis Prager, recently urged: “What can we do to fight back against the nihilistic anti-American destruction of virtually all the country's major institutions?...The single best thing Americans can do to counter the left-wing attack on America...is to take their children out of America's schools. The only other option, then, is to homeschool one's child.”

Then Prager says, “The problem is that many parents assume this is essentially impossible.”

Well, we believe it is possible! Of course, with God, all things are possible! For, where He guides, the Lord provides! He will provide a way for you and for your family.

Encouragement for Your Journey

That’s why we have put together the (Still) Not Back to School online workshop, for such a time as this, folks! After all, God calls us to more than escaping the public schools. He calls us to embracing His special plans, purposes, and preparations for our children!

Your children need the right worldview from the get-go, an inoculation from the false worldviews that have been so detrimental to so many kids in our world.

Your children need something far more than just “school at home,” where we drag the same worldview and classroom methods you get in public school into our homes. They need God-centered discipleship from loving parents.

So if you’re a first time homeschooler, or you’re coming back around for the 4th or 5th year, you need a shot in the arm! You need encouragement, equipping, and an exciting new vision for your homeschooling this year.

Join the (Still) Not Back to School Workshop - Going LIVE online July 26 @ 10am MT

This July 26-30, kick off your homeschool year with our free, LIVE, online 5-day Q&A and encouragement workshop (presented by Homeschool Summits/Generations), and transform your homeschool into a haven of family discipleship. Whether you are an experienced homeschooler or just getting started, this workshop will readjust, re-center, and renew your focus on the things that matter most in the education of your children.

We'll provide ideas, equipping, foundational principles and encouragement so you can set a new (or renewed!) direction for your homeschool in 2021...along with plenty of opportunity for live Q&A with our fantastic lineup of speakers who have decades of homeschooling experience each! It all goes LIVE Monday, July 26, at 10am MT.

Here's a quick overview of what we'll be covering:

Discover a new way of discipleship and life in the home — the way that Jesus patterns it, and the way it is laid out in the Word.

• How to Protect Your Kids from Bad Worldviews - Worldviews matter, especially in education. As parents we need to be fully engaged with the most significant threat our children face – the battle of worldviews. Join us as we get practical on how to protect your kids from bad worldviews.

• The Power of a Focused Mother: How to Achieve Maximum Impact on Your Kids - You can spot the difference in the children of a focused mother a mile off! Today’s mothers are distracted by many “noble” uses of their time. But while she is preoccupied, her children are the silent losers. These losses are deep and irretrievable. We’ll show you have to raise your conviction and sharpen your aim, so that your children will end up a cut above the pack. The impact of focused motherhood is huge and blessed. Mom, come to this one to see how your influence is more than you know.

• R.E.A.L. L.I.F.E. Homeschooling - Let's face it. Homeschooling is challenging. Sometimes it can feel like a major accomplishment just to take a shower and get the breakfast dishes cleaned up before dinner! Most homeschool moms feel the pressure of providing their children with a solid academic foundation ~ but there's so much more to homeschooling than academics, isn't there? The truth is that the greatest accomplishment of your homeschooling is to nurture your children in the ways of the One who made them.

• Homeschooling Unleashed: The Opportunity of a Lifetime - The pandemic closed schools all over the world and sent 1.5 billion children home. Homeschooling has doubled — what have we learned and what can homeschoolers do to respond to these new conditions and the influx of homeschoolers? Who are they? Will they stick to it? Are there new threats we face? Come with questions for interaction with HSLDA’s Senior Counsel Mike Donnelly.

We’ll be offering Q&A on each day, so register now and join us to get your BIGGEST HOMESCHOOLING QUESTIONS answered! It all goes LIVE Monday, July 26, at 10am MT.
