HSC Welcomes Anyone With an Interest in Homeschooling

Since its inception in 1986, HSC has supported families that make the decision to homeschool as they face difficult questions and challenges. These families may wonder about socialization, the legal issues surrounding homeschooling, or how to integrate an educational philosophy into their everyday lives. Some families may doubt their abilities, feel confused, and ask themselves, "Can I really do this?" To the parents of teens, high school education, driver's education, work permits, and college admittance present additional questions. HSC encourages parents to trust their children and themselves to make good decisions, and empowers families to find the support and information they need.

HSC recognizes that homeschoolers represent a diverse group of people with many different interests. To serve our conference attendees fully, we strive to offer a broad spectrum of ideas, workshops, approaches, and learning and educational tools. HSC does not endorse any specific methodology, curriculum, or a set of beliefs, political or otherwise. HSC's mission is to honor the diversity of homeschoolers, support and promote the entire spectrum of homeschooling, provide information, monitor and influence legislation, and offer opportunities for families to get together.
