37th annual Arizona Homeschool Convention hosted by AFHE
July 10-11, 2020
Phoenix Convention Center
Businesses offering products or services designed to meet the needs of homeschooling families are invited to apply for exhibit space during the AFHE Homeschool Convention. This is an event that focuses on encouraging, equipping, and inspiring parents as they endeavor to teach their children themselves at home. Convention exhibitors and convention program advertisers must support AFHE’s philosophy and purpose of promoting and supporting parent-led, privately funded homeschooling and should not conflict with a biblical worldview. Participation in this event is by invitation only. AFHE reserves the right to refuse any application without further explanation.
We look forward to partnering with quality vendors of homeschool-related curriculum and resources and pray that the weekend is fruitful for each participating exhibitor.

I received the encouragement and information I needed for this upcoming school year with my boys and was able to get my hands on the curriculum I’d been considering for them.
As my children are entering middle school/high school, I look forward to the convention to help inspire, encourage, and inform me of all the amazing resources available to homeschool families in Arizona. The AFHE convention always reminds me why homeschooling is right for our family and that we can do it!
It had been a few years since I’d attended convention. I was reminded of how beneficial and refreshing it is. I will be making it a priority every year!
