Frequently Asked Questions

It all begins with a seed. When you start considering to homeschool your children, when your homeschooled child becomes interested in a particular topic, when you visualize their future. These are all seeds. Blossoming Together hopes to help you cultivate these seeds for growth. In community, everything is easier. The third annual Blossoming Together Homeschool Convention will be held on May 3rd, 2025.

Here are some FAQs for what to expect from Blossoming Together Homeschool Convention:

Is this convention for me?

If you homeschool in any variety of ways, this convention is for YOU! If you attend a hybrid school, virtual school, co-op, educational program, or if you homeschool independently, you are invited! Even if you are just considering a homeschool journey, this is a great place for you to grow.

What can I expect from this convention?

You can expect to see everything our wonderful community has to offer. With over 60 vendor booths, a networking area, many sample curriculums on display, and 18 seminars, you can expect to leave feeling equipped, encouraged, and inspired.

Is this a family event?

We know that family is the reason seeds are planted in the homeschool community. We would love for you to attend with your children. There is a large field located directly behind the vendor hall where Recess and Results with Marea will be offering child care for a small fee. Children not enrolled in childcare will need to be supervised by their parents/caregivers at all times.

Will childcare be available?

YES! Marea with Recess & Results will be providing childcare at an additional cost. Childcare will in set up with tents and a roped off area directly behind the vendor hall. Marea is a homeschool mom of 4. She is passionate about supporting homeschool moms in their homeschool journey. She is co-founder of the Homeschool Revival Village and owner of “Recess & Results with Marea” where she specialize in play-based fitness for children and their families. She lives in Holly Hill, SC. and enjoys spending time with family, meeting up for playdates with friends, and napping. Pre-registration is highly encouraged as space is limited. There will be sibling discounts available. Let your kids have a BLAST while you attend seminars and browse the vendor hall! Registration info coming soon.

Will there be vendors that sell curricula?

Blossoming Together is focused on community. While we see the obvious importance of curricula, the majority of vendors will be made up of local businesses that benefit the homeschool community. There will be over 15 homeschool curriculum samples for you to review on our curriculum sample tables. A list of those available are on the vendor page. A few vendors will be selling curriculum as well. Our other vendors will include a variety of services, educational supplemental resources, etc.

Where will the convention be held?

This year, the convention will be held at Northwood Baptist Church in North Charleston. I am optimistic that this will be our permanent location for years to come! This new venue offers a more central location for everyone in the surrounding areas, along with ample parking and plenty of space for vendors and classrooms.

What do I need to bring?

We hope to provide a day of fun, encouragement, community, and laughter. Pen and paper for taking notes may be helpful in seminars. Vendors will have items for purchase. Treat yourself! Swag bags will be given to the first 100 attendees who walk through the door.

What are the lunch options?

Due to limited space, we will not have food vendors at the event. However, there are nearby food options available, and your wristband will allow you to come and go as needed.

Will there be a posted schedule for the day and a list of vendors?

YES!! As we approach the convention date, a full schedule for seminars and list of vendors will be posted. There will also be a brochure given out at the convention.

Is this event secular or religious?

Blossoming Together will be made up of people from all different backgrounds. ALL are welcome at this event. We will stand in unity and solidarity and focus on the things that we have in common. Our hope is that all homeschoolers feel represented and included in the Homeschool Charleston community.

Will tickets be available at the door?

Yes! We understand that not everyone has the luxury of planning in advance. Tickets will be $15 at the door. Cash and credit card will be accepted. If you or someone you know is unable to attend due to lack of funds, please email vsmith@homeschoolcharleston.com. We will do our best to accommodate everyone in our community to make sure all homeschoolers have ability to attend.

Will there be volunteer opportunities?

Yes! The convention would not be possible without the help of volunteers. This year there will be chances to sign up to volunteer. To show our appreciation you will receive one free ticket into the convention and a t-shirt to wear while you are volunteering. Sign up will be available in January!
