What They’re Saying
General Thank you so much for your time! I haven’t filled out the membership yet—I’ve just been reaching out to associations, gathering information, and reading about SC homeschooling requirements and recommendations online : ) South Carolina is set up differently for homeschooling than the previous states we’ve lived in. I feel like your association provides great support for homeschoolers, especially for high school- and, you answered in person and followed up with a knowledge and wisdom-filled workshop! Thank you!
Thank you in advance for the high school workshop and the help you provided! Navigating these high school years, no navigating transcripts, is so difficult but you made it simple!
All presenters worked hard to make Mamas feel like what they were doing was what was best. I really appreciated that. I also really appreciated that there was an allowed day option. The food was great and the one-on-one sessions were greatly appreciated as well. It was nice to feel like what each family was doing was good as long as it was best for their family.
Thank you Katie! I’m glad I was there, I learned so much. I went home and apologized to my child. We can do better.
It was so fun to meet you this weekend. Your spirit of enjoyment of life exudes, and your eagerness to create a better future path for home school families is beautiful. It was amazing to share time with you this past weekend. We have made changes and are already seeing positive rewards.
The FS retreat encouraged me as a homeschooling momma, but on a deeper level developed lasting lifelong friendships that I treasure to this day. Homeschooling can be hard and daunting, but having friends in your corner who know you and love, and your children, gives you strength to press on. Attending the retreat will help you find your people and nourish your soul.
