Register Now! 2019 Wonder Conference

Join us for a weekend that maximizes your home education, engage in wonder, & discover the essence of joyful learning.

The Wisdom Wonder Project is hosting our first ever Wonder Conference this October––a comprehensive weekend of training for home-educators and education-enthusiasts alike. This conference is for parents & educators of preschool through middle school age children––exploring and expounding on our theme this year of Less. But Better, it is a weekend of training to make the most of your teaching experience, learn how the teachers do it, and make space to reflect on what’s essential in your life.

To kick the conference off Thursday evening, Diane Stanley, an award-winning children’s author and illustrator, will keynote at SLO Classical Academy High School’s unique campus for a limited seating event. During this intimate evening, Diane will share how she altered her future trajectory when she took her very first art class during her senior year in college. From medical illustrator to prolific children’s book author, the story of Diane’s journey is sure to inspire. Conversation, drinks, and snacks will cap off the night.

These teacher, staff, and expert-parent led sessions cover topics including Singapore Math (from Kindergarten to UMS), the IEW process, Latin, homeschool space organization, living a low tech life, and capturing your life with haiku.
