Outschool

4.2 Glassdoor

Outschool is an online learning marketplace built around kids' actual interests, not a standardized curriculum or a system that decides what they should learn when.We connect families with live and self-paced classes across thousands of subjects, taught by teachers who chose this path because they love what they teach. Whether your kid is exploring something brand new, doubling down on a passion, or learning in a way that works for their brain, we're here to make that possible.We work with families pursuing every kind of alternative education: homeschoolers, ESA families, hybrid learners, and parents building something custom. We work with neurodivergent kids. We work with kids learning at their own pace. We work with families who've tried traditional school and want something different.The best learning happens when kids are curious. When a teacher is genuinely excited about what they're teaching. When a parent trusts their instincts about their child's education. We're here to make that easier. Follow us to see what families are building, what teachers are creating, and what we're learning along the way.
