Erin Barry has been home educating children for 20 years and, with transparency, personal stories, and humor delights in each opportunity to share her experiences with others interested in any aspect of the homeschooling journey. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Education, a Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Christian Counseling, and has taught professionally from pre-K to college.

Erin’s passion is to see parents become both encouraged and empowered in their faith in Christ and fully equipped to train and guide their children toward the unique individuals they were created to be. As a veteran with Classical Conversations, an international homeschooling organization, she is grateful to Leigh Bortins and the CC programs for their dedication to providing parents with both the knowledge and tools to make home education not only possible but extremely effective and fulfilling. 

Within CC, Erin has been a Challenge A, B, II, III and IV Director, Tutor Trainer, Practicum Speaker and Practicum Speaker Trainer, and lead the Practicum Alumni Support Team (PAST) initiative.

Additionally, Erin and her husband, Brett, an award-winning singer/songwriter, are founders of InseparableLives.com, a ministry devoted to nurturing Christ-centered hearts dedicated to oneness with God, spouse and community, as well as TheHomeEducatedMind.com, a Christ-centered community of home educators dedicated to raising up tomorrow's leaders, today.

Erin is the author of Yes! You Can Homeschool, The Terrified Parent's Companion To Homeschool Success. She currently resides in Frederick MD with Brett.
