Volunteers are asked to support a half day at the event and in return receive free access to all parts of the Expo. If you are interested in a specific presentation, requesting to be a room monitor for that presenter is a great way to help. This event isn't possible without volunteer support. Please sign up here.

There are many different types and methods of home education beyond what has been traditional in the homeschooling community. Some families partner with a charter school, receiving funding that makes education at home possible for them. Other families choose to have their child attend a virtual public school, hybrid school, micro-school or co-op with a student working at home a couple of days a week, and then in a classroom setting the other weekdays. All of the families in these situations are doing some or all of their primary education in a home environment and will benefit from what the Midwest Homeschool Expo offers: excellent educational resources, social connections, and family fun. At the Midwest Homeschool Expo, we take an expansive view of the word "homeschool," all families, students and learning methods are welcome!

In addition to being inclusive of all styles of home education, the Midwest Homeschool Expo hosts neutral, safe and affirming place for all students. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, or other characteristics. We require all Exhibitors, and Presenters do the same.

The Midwest Homeschool Expo is dedicated to supporting all families using homeschooling and alternative learning methods. To ensure that all participants, feel welcome, we select exhibitors and presenters who provide resources that are not aligned with any particular faith system. This is similar to other professional events being aligned with their mission. All Sponsors, Exhibitors, & Presenters are asked to participate without religion or strong political bias. The Expo takes and expansive approach to defining “secular” and includes as many learning resources as possible to meet the needs of our very diverse community of families. This approach allows us to focus on what we all have in common: a love for educating kids!

Our goal is to highlight educational content that is universally accessible and beneficial to families of all belief systems.

We are passionate about creating a supportive community where families can find fun and connection. Whatever you believe, we welcome you to come celebrate the joys of homeschooling with us! Thank you for being a part of our community and helping us build a positive and enriching experience for all.

As with many sporting or entertainment events, we are unable to offer refunds or transfer event registrations.

We strive to keep ticket prices and hotel costs lower than other conferences because we want every family to have the opportunity to attend. Each year, we conduct research and price analysis to ensure we offer the best experience at the best price. We recognize that attending is an investment, and we don’t take that lightly. To help offset event costs, we work with sponsors and partners, which ultimately allows us to keep ticket prices lower than most homeschool conferences across the US. All ticket proceeds to towards college scholarships for homeschoolers.
