Why You Should Visit a Homeschool Expo

Thinking about homeschooling? Just starting out? Or already an experienced homeschool parent?
Homeschool Expos—held annually in Durban, Cape Town, and Gauteng—are designed to support families at every stage of their homeschooling journey.

These expos are organised by EduXplore in partnership with SAHomeschoolers, and in some regions in cooperation with provincial homeschool associations. Together, they bring the national homeschool community together in practical, welcoming, family-friendly spaces.

Explore Curriculum Options

Each expo features a curriculum exhibition with a wide variety of suppliers. From structured programmes to flexible, interest-led resources, parents can compare options, ask questions, and discover what works best for their children and family lifestyle.

Learn From Experienced Homeschoolers

The seminar programme includes talks by experienced homeschoolers and subject experts on topics such as:

• Getting started with home education
• Matric and post-school pathways
• Legal and regulatory considerations
• Practical challenges and real-life solutions

These sessions are valuable for new families and reassuring for those further along the journey.

Connect With Other Homeschool Families

Homeschool expos are about community. Parents can meet and connect with other homeschoolers, often around the food court, while children enjoy open spaces to play. It’s a relaxed environment to share experiences, build friendships, and realise you’re not alone.

Support Young Entrepreneurs

Many expos include a kids’ market, where young entrepreneurs sell their own products and creations. It’s a great way to encourage creativity, confidence, and hands-on learning.

Find Affordable Homeschool Resources

Parents can also browse second-hand homeschool materials sold by other families—an excellent way to access quality resources at affordable prices.

Whether you’re gathering information, looking for encouragement, or simply wanting to experience the homeschool community firsthand, South Africa’s Homeschool Expos in Durban, Cape Town, and Gauteng are well worth attending.

Come along, bring the family, and discover what homeschooling can look like.
