DMV Homeschooling Mini-Conference 2024:

Learning by Doing

Saturday, March 9th 9am-12pm

6040 Wilson Blvd, Arlington

Scholé center for innovative education presents

A conference for local homeschoolers


We are so excited to welcome you to the first conference for homeschoolers local to the DMV! We envision a day where homeschooling parents can learn, rest, and connect with other like-minded families in the area.

This conference will be short and sweet, affordable, and open to all homeschooling (or homeschool-curious) parents in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Infants are welcome, but we ask parents to make alternative arrangements for older children in order to facilitate a day of focused learning and conversation.

keynote speaker

Elizabeth Hauris

Elizabeth Hauris is a Virginia homeschooler and the founder and owner of the much-loved program History Unboxed, a hands-on history enrichment resource that makes history come alive. She recently expanded her community outreach by launching an exciting living history learning space called The HUB in Warrenton, VA! She will be sharing her experiences with hands-on, experiential, and project-based learning as a homeschooler and curriculum developer, and offering her vision to inform and inspire our homeschooling!
