Welcome to the home of the 2011 Northern Virginia Home Education Conference. Next year's event will take place July 8-9, 2011.  While we're barely a month away from this year's event, we're already solidifying plans for next year's Conference.  We added several new features to the 2010 Conference – tours of the Capital, new exhibitors, even more great door prizes, Baby2Teen sponsorship for the Mommy & Me Room – and we've got a lot more in store for your family in 2011.

In August we'll be announcing the Keynote Speaker for the 2011 Conference.  We've already begun to assemble the best array of exhibitors and speakers we've had the privilege to present to you, the wonderful, dedicated and energetic homeschool community of the in the Mid-Atlantic Region.

One of our previous attendees said this the Conference is “not too big…..”  We thought about that for a minute and decided that’s just fine – not too big, not too small … just right!  Registration will begin on January 2, 2011.  If you register early, you'll receive the free Conference DVD.  Right now, if you haven't already sent it, please share your thoughts with us on the evaluation forms you picked up at the event.  We value your comments and suggestions. 

Please become a Fan of our conference on Facebook and share us with your local homeschool “family”.  Make plans now to visit your Nation’s Capital over the  Independence holiday next year. We've already been in touch with our Congressional Representatives to prepare for an even better experience for the 2011 Capital Challenge.  Stay tuned to find out more.
