Those High School Years!

Find out your next steps toward a successful “launch”.

Getting ready for high school—though just a continuation of your homeschool journey—somehow FEELS like uncharted territory. It’s not, though! Many have walked this path before, and you’ll find plenty of help at the convention.

Your full family registration includes all keynotes and workshops, Exhibit Hall and UCS shopping, Thursday’s Special Needs Conference, the College & Career Fair, and much more! Some optional add-ons do have an additional charge—sessions not included in the registration fee are noted in the description.

Your Guide for High School at Home

Homeschool High School

Get set for high school! These three workshops Thursday, included with your paid convention registration, run through record-keeping, testing, transcripts, and more. (Info coming soon.)

Career Exploration

Graduation

Approximately 200 graduates assemble for this special, God-honoring ceremony, where parents meet their graduate at center stage to present the diploma.
