CAPE-NM provides an annual homeschool convention in Albuquerque, with dynamic speakers and many curriculum exhibitors from all over the nation. We also provide you with up-to-date information on NM law which affects home education in our state.

The CAPE-NM homeschool convention will be marking its 27th anniversary by encouraging, supporting and informing homeschoolers of New Mexico. You’ll be encouraged by the many speakers, will have plenty of resources available at the exhibit hall, and you’ll get lots of fellowship time with other homeschooling families!

For those who are thinking of homeschooling or those just starting, this is the class for you! An in-depth extensive workshop with everything from why homeschool to how to homeschool. For those who have homeschooled a few years it can also be helpful to be inspired as well as get a few new ideas.

Our 40th annual convention will be a celebration of homeschool community, history, and our future. The two days of the convention will include keynote sessions each day from Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis (live via satellite) and author/podcaster Connie Albers.
