Who is the Northeast Unschooling Conference for?
This conference is for unschoolers, eclectic homeschoolers, self-directed learners, autodidacts, and the people who love and support us! Maybe you attend an alternative learning center, Sudberry or Waldorf school, or maybe you are a radical, whole-life unschooler. Professional educators and researchers are also welcome, although this conference is geared towards unschoolers ourselves. Grown unschoolers are highly encouraged to attend!
