14th
ANNUAL PHAA CONFERENCE
What past attendees said:
Shelly Wilson (homeschool mom): We learned a great amount about
college requirements and really appreciate the class with PHEAA (Pennsylvania
Higher Education Assistance Agency). I really feel prepared to start the
college and financial aid process! Thanks for all your hard work!
Nancy Lanigan
(homeschool mom): We came looking for help and
alternatives for our high school years. We already have 5 high school
graduates (three more to go!) and are very sorry we did not attend
before. All sessions attended were very helpful!
Mary Hill (homeschooled student): I enjoyed the “Journeys in High
School” session. I thought it was great that high schoolers
could interact and share their experiences with each other.
Cheryl Hanratty (homeschooled student): It really gave me an adea of all of the choices and possibilities I have
to choose from and what to expect after high school.
From Charis Luna (homeschooled student):
I liked being able to
discuss homeschool education in a group with other kids – and there was
good food!
From Kyle DeMaria (homeschooled student): I really enjoyed the layout of the day
– there were nicely spaced breaks. Another thing was the nametags – they
were easy to read and made it easier to socialize. Finally I made a new
friend. In the past I have not met a lot of people my age who homeschool.
The bottom line is I really enjoyed this experience and look forward to
the next conference.
From Megan Dutill (homeschooled student): I really had a wonderful time this
year. I especially loved the opportunity to connect with students my age
– the Excelsior panel, meeting students in my APUSH class, and the AP
panel was lots of fun.
20 Sessions featuring:
Susan & Howard Richman,
homeschool grads, other upbeat homeschoolers, and admissions people from
about 15 colleges.
Keynote
Speaker:
Susan Richman, Editor
of the PA Homeschoolers newsletter for the last 26 years. She will
be speaking about "Taking the Longer View."
Enjoy the
Professionalism:
Why should other educators go to hotels for their
conferences while homeschoolers bring bag lunches and sit on hard chairs. This conference treats you right. Enjoy the free buffet lunch, the free snacks
during breaks, the sessions that are small enough for you to get answers
to your questions, and the professionalism of the day and location.

It’s a college fair! About 15 public, private,
