    Teach Them Diligently Local Homeschooling Convention

    Every year, join Middle Tennessee homeschoolers at this weekend event (Thursday evening, Friday, and Saturday) that is well worth attending for the whole family. While many families stay at the hotel with discounted pricing for convention registrants and take advantage of hotel amenities, others choose to drive in each day. Join the many seminars offered during the convention weekend, or choose to browse the expansive vendor hall where you can see in person homeschooling supplies and curriculum. Ask your local director or support representative for Classical Conversations coupon codes to get discount registration pricing and make sure to visit our booth while you are there! Don't forget that TTD also offers the best registration pricing for the next year at the convention.
