Thomas More College is delighted to serve as a sponsor of the upcoming Catholic Homeschooling Conference, featuring three days of over fifty on-line talks by veteran educators and homeschooling advocates. The conference begins this Thursday, June 25 with live and pre-recorded talks dedicated to three main topics: homeschool guidance, marriage and family, and virtue and character formation.

Thomas More Visiting Fellow Amy Fahey, who has been home educating her children for two decades, will deliver a talk entitled “Home Education in a Climate of Fear, Uncertainty—and Hope.”

Other speakers familiar to the Thomas More Community include prominent homeschooling authors Mary Ellen Barrett, mother of alumna Katie Barrett, and alumna Susie Lloyd, mother of alumnae Katie, Molly, Gracie, and Eileen Lloyd, and current student Bernadette Lloyd. MacBeth Derham, mother of former Thomas More student Paul Derham, will also be speaking, as will Visiting Fellow Joseph Pearce.

As Amy Fahey notes, “Whether you’ve been a longtime home educator, are new to homeschooling, or thinking about teaching your children at home, this conference will give you the practical and spiritual encouragement you need to continue on the journey.”  “Attending a Catholic homeschool conference,” adds Mary Ellen Barrett, “freshens your perspective, inspires your creativity and strengthens your resolve to create the best learning environment for your children.”

The live event is free, and there is an early-bird VIP pass that gives you unlimited access to all talks. Please visit the Catholic Homeschooling Conference Website for more information or to register.
