Alaska’s longest running homeschool organization is holding its 39th annual conference next month in Anchorage. The Alaska Private and Home Educators Association (APHEA) event will include talks and activities for the whole family through workshops, keynote sessions, silent auction and an extensive exhibitor hall.
National and local speakers will be there to encourage and equip independent homeschoolers of all ages on their journey. Click here to see the complete schedule.
Keynote speaker Israel Wayne, Director of Family Renewal, is a sought-after conference speaker and author, who inspires people to think and live biblically” in all areas of life. Featured speaker Erin Lynum is a Master Naturalist and host of the Nat Theo Podcast, revealing the creativity of God through nature.
APHEA’s goal is to foster community and growth for Alaskan homeschoolers operating through a Christian worldview. The organization supports governmental “non-interference” in home education, promoting the independence and ability of homeschooling parents to make decisions for their own families, free from government control, oversight or involvement.
For registration, vendor attendees, and sponsors visit our website at aphea.org. Pastors, grandparents, and widows are welcome to attend at no cost. The conference will be held on April 11th-12th at Muldoon Community Assembly in Anchorage. For more information, email apheainbox@gmail.com.

Stay with it.
One of the concerns about publicly funded private homeschooling and charters is that the money will support religious indoctrination. This conference confirms that
APHEA is a non profit organization led by volunteers. They’re not funded by state correspondence schools or charters. They’re just out to encourage Christian homeschool families.
I don’t doubt your assessment Felicity, but APHEA seems to be the organizer of the event and they’ve invited christian speakers from other entities. Ten bucks says that somewhere during the event there will be discussion of the state education budget and that’s where my concern will arise. Religion already gets tax breaks, that’s more than enough.
A little psychological projection there….like the entire public school system hasn’t been indoctrinating leftist darkness for decades.
I know that it can be tempting, but, It’s usually more productive to simply ignore Lil’ Manny… He tells me that he gets his information, and degrees, by watching, and reading the “lamestream” Media.
True Elizabeth. if you believe that thermometers or volleyball or grammar or trigonometry are part of a leftist dark indoctrination, by all means, remove your children.
ALL education is religious in nature. Parents alone have the right to determine which worldview (religion) to impart to their children.
Tundra: not so, unless you can prove that physics and calculus and chemistry are not pure science and somehow have embedded in them a belief in the supernatural.

Would love to see our great, freedom loving Governor or one of his representatives (say Todd Smoldon?) speak at this conference. Thry have done so much to promote parental freedom.
