Overview


Gather ’Round Homeschool is a faith-based educational platform offering a unique and flexible homeschool curriculum designed to bring families together through shared learning experiences. Their content is combining lessons, workbooks, and multimedia content, and their approach has gained truste by parents and educators around the world.


As the business grew, so did the demand for digital materials. Gather ’Round Homeschool needed a dependable way to deliver large PDF curriculum files and video lessons directly to parents and students, while keeping access simple, secure, and consistent across all devices.


Sky Pilot appeared as a solution because it presents an app built to handle both downloadable and streaming educational content.

 

The Challenge


Gather ’Round Homeschool faced the common challenge of scaling digital education: how to distribute a growing library of multimedia materials efficiently and reliably. They needed a platform that could:


  • Deliver large downloadable PDFs (curriculum guides, student books, lesson plans) without issues.


  • Stream video content securely and without relying on external links.


  • Offer an organized experience for customers purchasing multiple units or bundles.


  • Integrate smoothly with Shopify, where their store and checkout process were already established.

 

How Gather ’Round Homeschool Uses Sky Pilot


With Sky Pilot integrated into their Shopify store, Gather ’Round Homeschool now delivers both PDF materials and streaming video lessons directly to their customers. They are able to do it automatically, securely, and without any extra steps.


Customers can access their materials instantly after checkout, either via a direct download link on the thank-you page or through an automated email sent immediately after purchase.


For the Gather ’Round team, the benefits go even further:


  • Automatic file delivery for all PDF resources, removing the need for manual distribution.


  • Vimeo integration that allows for embedded, high-quality video playback directly inside the customer’s download page without redirection and confusion.


  • Centralized management of all digital content within Shopify, making it easy to update lesson files or add new materials to existing units.


  • Consistent user experience, whether customers are accessing content from a computer, tablet, or mobile device.


This setup has allowed the Gather ’Round team to focus on what they do best. And, that is creating engaging educational resources. They can focus on all of this while Sky Pilot ensures that every lesson, video, and workbook reaches its learners without delay.
