WORKSHOPS
(8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.)
There will be a set of workshops for those new to or exploring homeschooling.
There will also be some subject specific workshops for those at different
places in their homeschooling journey. For everyone at any point of their
journey, there will be some sessions about various aspects of family life and
homeschooling. There will also be several exhibitor workshops available.
The projected schedule will be (with 3 or 4 workshops at each session time):

EXHIBIT HALL
(9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.)
The Exhibit Hall will be open 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. so everyone has an extra
hour to shop after the last session. Due to space limitations, we will not be
able to allow rolling carts/suitcases or strollers in the Exhibit Hall. We are also
scheduling 25-minute Exhibitor Workshops on the hour and half-hour,
beginning at 9:00 a.m., with the final session starting at 12:30 p.m. Several of
our exhibitors are contributing items for free GIVEAWAYS throughout the day
(must be present to win)!
FREE HOMESCHOOL CONSULTATIONS
Included with registration, attendees may sign up for a 20-minute consulting
session with an experienced homeschool mom in English or Spanish. We
have a limited number of openings, available on a first-come, first-served
basis, so if you are interested, please note it on your online registration.
Whether you are just beginning your homeschool journey and have
questions about getting started, or are preparing to graduate your teens, or
are anywhere in between, we have someone who can help.
LUNCH OPTIONS
With your online registration, there will be an opportunity to preorder a box
lunch from Togo’s (entrée, chips, cookie, and small water) for $13. You are also
welcome to bring your own lunch.
USED CURRICULUM SALE
(10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.)
There are a limited number of slots available for those who would like to bless
other families by selling some of their used curricula at a reduced rate. It
will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. If you would like to participate as a
seller, please select that on your registration form and sign up before July 17th;
we only have 10-12 spots available so first-come, first-served. Sellers and
shoppers must be registered for the event to participate. Please bring your
used curriculum, a 6 ft table, and cash in small bills. If you have any questions,
email Crissi Allen at heartacademysj@gmail.com.
FACEBOOK COMMUNITY PAGE
You are invited to a Facebook Community Group for extra connections and
social interactions before, during, and after the event. Being involved with
a group gives you a fun opportunity to meet the vendors and speakers and
fellow homeschoolers. Contests and prizes are a bonus! Check out the page,

REGISTRATION
General Registration will open this week. CHEA Members may attend for free.
The non-member price is $10 per family. For more information on the benefits
and options for membership (starting at just $35!), visit CHEA’s membership
page.
Children attend free with a registered adult. (Children are welcome, but there
isn’t a children’s program or childcare, so you will need to keep them with you
at all times and the priority for seating for sessions will be for adults.)
ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ATTEND IN PERSON: Many of the sessions will be
recorded, and only attendees will be given a link to access those recordings,
so now if there are two sessions that you wish to see that are scheduled at the
same time, you can go to one and watch the other later!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED (AND FREE REGISTRATION AVAILABLE): We need
volunteers in various areas throughout the day. If you would be willing to
help for at least two hours during the day, please contact Crissi Allen at
heartacademysj@gmail.com to sign up with her and then you may register
for free also (if not already free as a CHEA member).
