Mark your calendars for this local event coming this June: The SC Homeschool Expo! Hosted by Cola City Homeschoolers and SC Homeschooling Connection, it’s a community service to all homeschoolers. Local information and opportunities that you might not find at the “big” conventions! Updated (5/24/2025)
The SC Homeschool Expo & Consignment Sale
If you’re considering homeschooling, new to homeschooling or you’re an experienced homeschooler–this is the event for you! Cola City is committed to creating an environment that celebrates the unique perspectives, backgrounds, and identities of all people, embracing diversity as a cornerstone of our success.
Through intentional efforts, this Expo strives to cultivate an atmosphere of belonging, where everyone has equitable opportunities to thrive, contribute, and reach their full potential. By championing inclusivity and affirming the dignity of every person, we aim to inspire positive change and build a brighter, more harmonious future for all. In order to reach this goal, we need vendors and exhibitors who represent a variety of educational resources, materials, and services that cater to diverse learning styles, cultural backgrounds, and abilities.
This year’s theme is: Mirrors and Windows. Educational resources to provide our children with both reflections of their own lives (mirrors) and a peek into different perspectives of others (windows).
Come Find Used Books
Everyone loves a good book sale. This Homeschool Expo invites homeschoolers with used books, resources, and curriculum to get a table space to sell your own items OR drop off your items for our consignment sale! Shoppers come browse to find the best deals on your wish list–Admission $1.
It’s also great pick up bargain deals for the things you know you need. But, also a chance to browse for things that you aren’t on your list! You may find something that is even better than what you had on your list. Supplemental materials or “Plan-B” back-up materials for additional resources. Unschoolers who don’t want curriculum still will love the variety of books and games that can be used for “strewing” to peak the learners’ curiosity.
Got used books you want to sell? We want ’em! Every year, the shoppers tell us they wish there was more used books. We all love a deal. So, Cola City Expo can help rehome your used educational items.
- You can register as a vendor in order to sell your own items and keep all the profits.
- You can consign your items with us instead. It’s so EASY! Cola City will sell the items for a small percentage of your listed prices.
