2025 WORSKSHOPS:
UHA offers multiple homeschool workshops throughout the year. There were many times along my homeschooling journey that I longed to sit under our association director and just glean some insight on either a road untraveled, such as high school, or recordkeeping requirements that I needed to simplify. It is my heart’s desire to always be available for both nuts and bolts of homeschooling and encouragement that you are not walking this road alone. Our association is growing yearly, and you are likely not the only one who needs some assistance!
I work very hard to maintain our low membership costs and all increases to this point have been driven by inflation of materials and postage increases.
In order to maintain our price points, we must utilize room reservations at local libraries to host our workshops and sometimes working within their reservation system can be a challenge. Dates will be released as early as possible for future workshops. Please revisit this page regularly to see updated information.
Therefore, we are revamping our workshop procedures for 2025. Following you will find the scheduled workshops, allowing you to plan/budget for what would help you most. All workshops have limited seating and registration closes 4-5 days prior to the workshop so that I can plan for teaching materials.
Most workshops are for UHA members only! However, we do host a few each year that are for those considering homeschooling. If you know of anyone who would like to know the homeschool laws in South Carolina or options concerning kindergarten, please share when those classes will be held.

The Founder/Director, Lori Wyatt, is a 25+ year homeschool veteran who believes there is no one perfect education solution for all children and their families. After graduating four exclusively homeschooled children of her own, she is witness to the homeschool system working to produce intelligent, well-rounded students who are prepared to enter higher education, the work force, and society as flourishing participants in all.
Lori has a heart for the homeschooling community, and strives to provide others with the leadership, support, and accountability that she herself received along her family's journey. Just one year before graduating her youngest child, her family's association closed. With a rising senior, facing college applications and living the uncertainty of a global pandemic, she began to research what alternate choices she had for their last year. While she found many excellent associations, with wonderful directors, there was no one match that mirrored all she had received over the last two decades. Thus began her son's senior year and her planning to provide an association to other homeschoolers once her teaching years were past.
You MUST be a current member of Upcountry Homeschool Association to receive consultation services
