    Our Mission

    At Learn Without Schools we provide support for families and community groups who want to be the locus of control for their children's education and development. Our mission is to help families step away from schools and institutionalized programs to establish home learning routines and rhythms that support children to be happy, healthy, whole and curious.

    Our Philosophy

    If we believe that all children can learn, then we need to believe that all families can teach. Our philosophy is grounded in a family-first model that returns the locus of control back to the family and helps them assert what they need for their own learning, development, and relationships with children, communities and partnerships.

    Our Process

    We support your unique home learning journey through a process of inquiry, workshops, curriculum design, resource  management and ongoing coaching. This can be done with individual families or in larger community groups and learning pods.

    About Learn Without Schools

    The Guide

    Erin has been a certified educator and change agent in schools since 2000. She specializes in building programming for traditionally underserved learners and for the past 10 years has been educating her family while working within a diverse community of home learning families who are seeking something engaging, innovative and healing for their families that is different from the local school options. She cares deeply about maximizing human potential and autonomy and has decades of experiences honing her craft on the east and west coasts and abroad.  She is an instructional coach for alternative learning experiences and offers workshops and coaching to hundreds of families every year to support their transition into home learning and ongoing successes with that choice.

    Our Partners

    We work with a diversity of family and community groups locally and abroad. Our client partners tend to have a history of seeking something alternative in their learning and tend to prioritize less mainstream pathways for their children's development. This often includes prioritizing the arts, craftsmanship,  nature and cycles, world travel, seasonal work, shared family living, skills sharing and learning as liberation and social justice. We get to love and support all these families.

    Our Products

    We offer a variety of learning formats to engage, inform and elevate individuals and community groups who seek to educate their children in ways that anchor youth to family values and local funds of knowledge. Our workshop series offer scaffolds to build strong home learning practices while our community partnership series supports creating learning pods and our one-on-one coaching helps families meet specific learning goals.
