About Learn Without Schools

The Mission


To provide support for families and community groups who want to be the locus of control for their children's education and development. To help families step away from institutionalized (and antiquated) learning models and establish home learning routines and rhythms that support children to be happy, healthy, whole and curious.

The Philosophy

The Philosophy

The 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.

The Experience

Testimonials

Please reach us at erin.lws@outlook.com for further information.

This series of workshops has been one of those pivotal moments in my journey as a parent--I'm thankful we crossed paths. You model an alternative to teaching and parenting that I don't think I've ever had the privilege to see up close. Thank you for this gift! 


The whole series was very helpful. Connecting with community. Having space to breakdown what learning is all about. Being part of an adult learning community that wants what's best for kids.


I had lots of questions when I started, and this helped me in so many ways. I was able to get a "feel" for what I wanted in home schooling, able to understand systems in place that I needed, and get this information face to face. Also loved, loved, loved the thoughtfulness and experience shared with us to see where we might stumble.


I enjoyed connecting with other families and hearing their insights as this was very helpful. I enjoyed the content of the course; it was not what I had anticipated at all. The activities and homework were very practical, constructive and helped me feel prepared. Erin is very welcoming and supportive and is a wealth of knowledge.
