Homeschool Iowa Conference

Homeschool Iowa is a non-profit organization that exists to equip and encourage homeschooling parents, along with promoting and protecting homeschooling in the state of Iowa. We are hosting our annual conference this year where you’ can gather new ideas, strategies, vision, and perspective. We also have special workshops for those who are new to homeschooling or are simply interested in learning more about it. At the conference you can soak in useful information from our outstanding speakers, shop in our expansive exhibit hall, and tap into the special tracks, youth programs, and other custom-designed programming for homeschooling families. You’ll enjoy an amazing weekend recharging, learning, and connecting. You’ll gain just what you need to walk this beautiful, sometimes challenging, but always incredibly vital homeschooling journey with your family. Make plans now to join us for our Homeschool Iowa Conference on June 9-10, 2023, in West Des Moines.
