A tradition of sharing
Thank you to our past curriculum presenters.
To everyone who has volunteered to share books, answer questions, and encourage another homeschool family: thank you. Your time and experience have helped families find ideas, confidence, and local connections. Our 2027 presenters continue that tradition.
These curriculum presenters volunteer their time to share their own experiences. Our Ambassador Program is a separate, paid sponsorship opportunity for companies that provide materials for families to explore. Both help parents make informed choices.
