Meet
Hi, I’m Erin, a homeschooling mom of four boys and the creator of Pando. I’ve homeschooled all ages, from Pre-K through High School, and across a range of learning challenges. Our homeschool is a mix of everyday bookwork and lots of literature, sprinkled with hiking trails and the occasional cross-country road trip.
Over the years, I’ve found myself searching for a better way to bring learning together for my own kids. Instead of juggling disconnected subjects, I found myself curating books, projects, and ideas into one connected path so learning made sense and felt meaningful.
Pando grew out of that process. It’s designed to support families like ours, offering structure and direction without taking away flexibility or the parent’s role in leading the learning. My hope is that Pando gives you a clear path to follow, while still leaving room for your family to make it your own.
Most of our days start with books, questions, and “traditional” learning.
But some of our best learning doesn’t look like “school” at all.
I didn’t set out to build a curriculum. I was simply trying to make learning work better for my own family.
I wanted something that felt connected and meaningful, where subjects weren’t constantly competing for time and attention. I found myself pulling pieces from different places - books, projects, films, trips, ideas - and trying to weave them together into something that made sense.
Over time, I realized I wasn’t just organizing our school, I was building a framework. Something that allowed us to go deeper, stay curious, and actually enjoy the process of learning together.
Pando is the result of that process. It’s not built from theory, it’s built from real life, refined over time, and designed to support families who want something more connected, more thoughtful, and more sustainable.
