The first time I attended a Homeschool Conference was in 2014. I was so thankful for it. I never regretted attending it. Since then, I have tried my best to go to each summit or conference about homeschooling, whether online (US) or in-person (Manila). Meeting like-minded people and gaining wisdom from seasoned homeschoolers encourage me to go on and thrive in homeschooling my daughter.
Today, despite the pandemic, another homeschool summit is going to be held. It'll be from July 30 to August 1. Though I have been homeschooling for nine years now, I still feel the need to be equipped and encouraged; that is why I can't wait for this online summit.
Educating for Life Organizes Online Summit to Help Families with Homeschooling and Distance Learning

Happening online via the Accelevents platform, the Summit will take place on July 30-August 1, but participants will be able to access the event anytime and learn from all the Summit talks even after the event dates, up to August 31, 2021.
#CHIPSThriveAtHome is similar to EFL’s CHIPS event last year, which was their big-scale online event created in response to the needs of families who suddenly had to face a year of strictly home-based learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Driven by this same objective to help families, #CHIPSThriveatHome will feature bite-sized learning sessions for families who are already homeschooling, exploring or preparing for homeschooling, or struggling with the challenges of their kids learning at home via distance learning.
With talks focused on the sub-themes Thrive In Your Mind, Thrive in Learning, and Thrive in Family Relationships, EFL hopes to equip families with strategies for joyful homeschooling and distance learning. Through the specific parenting and family life topics of #CHIPSThriveAtHome, EFL hopes that more families will be able to cope—and even thrive—despite the pandemic.
The Summit’s line-up of speakers consists of both international and local speakers who will leave the participants inspired, encouraged, empowered, and equipped to start or continue their respective home-based learning journeys more than ever before. This applies to both homeschooling and distance learning families.
