FREE Workshop Details
We do have some Free Sessions available for anyone who would like to attend. The following sessions are free to anyone who would like to join us.
1-DILIGENCE – FREE SESSION – Before You Begin – Panel – THU-7:00pm
1-DILIGENCE
Starting to home educate can be overwhelming. Whether you are on the fence about home education, just starting off or need to review the basics, this workshop is for you. Join us as a panel of home educators share their 'how-to's' about getting started. Come see how different doesn't mean wrong. Ask the questions you need answers to like “Am I qualified? How do I prepare? Where can I go for help? What should I avoid? What does Manitoba law require?” This is a free session open to the public. Plan to come and be inspired to start to home educate your way.
Panelists: Vera Louden, Heather Teichrib, Shauna Wagenhoffer, Heather Wickstrom
KEYNOTE – FREE Session – Education From a Biblical Worldview – Israel Wayne – FRI-7:00pm
PRAIRE HALL KEYNOTE 2 - Friday, 7:00-8:00pm
* * MACHS BOARD INTRODUCTION & HSLDA UPDATE * *
Are your children prepared to face the “Real World”? Learn how to equip your children to stand against the flood of secularism that threatens to drown them. What is your worldview? How are you going to transfer it to your children? Will you be more effective than the media and popular culture? Discover how to teach your children to view the core subjects (and all of life) through the lenses of scripture.
Israel Wayne desires to see God’s people learn to think and live Biblically. Aiming for both the head and the heart, Israel’s goal is to challenge audiences to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.
In his words, “God’s Word applies to all areas of life. There is not one facet of our existence which does not fall under the direct claim of Lordship by Jesus Christ. This includes how we spend our money, what entertainment we consume, how we educate our children, how we use our time, etc. All of life must be understood from within a Biblical worldview.

Most people think of schooling when they hear the word “education.” In reality, however, the two are not intrinsically linked in any way. Learn why most people are schooled, but never truly educated, and how you can ensure your children get a great education, even without schooling.
