ABOUT

The DFW Catholic Home Educators Conference is a gathering of Catholic homeschooling families passionate about providing quality education to their children in a faith-filled environment. Conference organizers aim to inspire, equip, and connect Catholic parents who choose to educate their children at home. Through speakers, socials, vendors, and more, we hope that homeschoolers will find the strategies and resources they need to confidently embrace their God-given roles as the primary educators of their children. Join us for a weekend of insightful sessions, vendors, and inspiration​​​.

We'd love to hear from you!
