Homeschooling is something I have always considered for the little man, in fact, I have amassed various homeschool online resources. Even now that he is enrolled in traditional school, I have never closed my doors to the possibilities of homeschooling him in the future.
That is why I am delighted to inform you that I am giving away 2 tickets for the Philippine Homeschool Conference 2015, happening this Saturday, 17 October, between 8am-5pm at the Samsung Hall and SMX, SM Aura, Taguig City.
Homeschool Association of the Philippine Islands, Manila Workshops and The Learning Basket bring you the largest homeschooling conference this year – “The Philippine Homeschool Conference 2015: Ready for the World!”
As a precursor to the “Global Home Education Conference” (GHEC) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in March 2016, two well-respected homeschool advocates and speakers from the United States will be gracing the event as keynote speakers: Michael Donnelly, Director for Global Outreach of the Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) and Secretary ofGHEC 2016, and Rachael Carman, mother of seven and best-selling author and publisher ofpopular homeschool science curriculum Apologia.Rachael’s husband, Davis, the President of Apologia, will be speaking as well.
Sought-after speaker and homeschooling advocate Edric Mendoza, host of On The Money and homeschooling dad of five will also be speaking. Chinkee Tan, motivational speaker and wealth coach, will be speaking as well.
Homeschoolers and those exploring this educational option will be inspired, informed and empowered in this biggest homeschooling event. Definitely bigger than the past years’ homeschool conferences, “Ready for the World!”will be held at THREE venues at SM Aura Premiere. Keynote talks will be held at the Samsung Hall, while smaller workshops and the much awaited homeschool expo will be at the SMX Convention Center.
There will be inspiring talks as well as a huge expo of the various learning providers, educational tools, toys, books, and a whole lot more, that will help homeschooling parents and aspiring homeschooling parents in their daily lives.

I admire moms who homeschool because it takes a LOT of patience and effort to teach kids academics. I’ve thought about it honestly, but dismissed the idea because I have no patience! Maybe when I’ve learned to be more patient, I would seriously consider homeschooling.
Good luck on your giveaway!
I salute all parents who homeschool their kids. Napakatiyaga! Galing! 🙂
so true! 🙂
I’d love to homeschool my kids, but is afraid of their socialization with others. My son is also in traditional school, but I collect homeschooling resources. 🙂
i guess that is the common misconception about homeschooling. i had the same misgiving but listening to one of Edric Mendoza’s talk cleared that. I, too, collects homeschooling resources for worksheet my little man can do at home 🙂
Will you be there?(: Hope to see you!
i was very excited to go but the warnings on Typhoon Lando would probably keep me cooped up at home today 🙁
I am still halfhearted about homeschooling.. But knowing how traditional i am its a big thing that i am actually considering homeschooling.. 2more years to decide i guess.. :shy:
plenty of time to determine whether homeschooling will be effective for your little tot! 🙂
I have friends who homeschool their kids and i see how they enjoying every moments of it.
it really has a lot of advantages + is most ideal for parents who would like to be solely responsible for their children’s education
Hats off to parents who do homeschool, you are patient and so hands on with your kids’ learning.
they sure are! 🙂
I really wish I could attend this conference. Every year, I always wait for the day they decide to host a conference in Davao naman haha

Good luck to all who joined the giveaway. If only the workshop is here in Cebu, I would love to hear the pros and cons of those who home-schooled.
I’m thinking to homeschool Ren next year again. Oh Lord please help me to decide.
I am sure God will give you guidance in making the best decision for Ren, mum. Good luck!
I want to try homeschooling but my husband doesn’t like the idea.
we are on the same boat. Jared’s dad is not sold on the homeschooling idea, either.
