Chicago & Illinois Homeschool Expo
Each year, Illinois homeschool families and curriculum vendors descend upon the Windy City to enjoy a two-day Expo devoted entirely to the display, sale and discussion of educational materials by the best Christian, secular and specialty publishers.
New homeschoolers, classical homeschoolers, eclectic homeschoolers, unschoolers and everyone in between will enjoy this huge homeschool convention.
Whether you are just beginning to test the homeschooling waters, or you've been homeschooling for years, the Homeschool Expo will provide answers to your questions, lift your spirits, renew your vision and sharpen your teaching skills.
