Finding any class and any subject taught in any way that works for your child has been a lifesaver! It's been amazing for my ASD level 3 son, who couldn't read in regular school and now is reading books by himself, thanks to taking classes with Outschool. - Myla, US

Our expert educators are a new source of inspiration
How often do adults discover a passion later in life, wishing that someone had introduced it to them in a more inspiring way when they were younger? Outschool is on a mission to make sure kids get that chance now.
We don’t just have teachers. We have your very own personal team of educational superheroes, each with their own unique superpower in being able to connect and inspire. They bring a level of passion that can make algebra as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride and history as compelling as a blockbuster movie. They're the kind of teachers who can turn the Pythagorean theorem into a captivating mystery to be solved and the French Revolution into an epic tale of drama and intrigue.
Outschool has been instrumental in assisting me to homeschool my granddaughter and get her up to grade level to go to second grade. I have the degree, the skills, and the materials. Still, sometimes it takes the new teacher, the passionate teacher, and the teacher with a different approach to promote confidence and highlight certain skills. Great job! - Nana, US
Outschool’s teachers come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. They're not just experts in their fields; they're skilled in the art of making learning interactive and engaging. They understand that teaching Shakespeare isn’t just about reciting lines but about bringing the characters and stories to life. They know that coding is actually about bringing digital creations to life.
But what really sets these educators apart is their ability to connect with students. They’re not just speaking at them; they’re engaging with them, understanding their learning styles, and adapting their approach accordingly. It's like having a mentor who knows exactly how to ignite that spark of curiosity and keep the flame of learning burning bright.
Outschool offers such a variety of classes, clubs, and groups–my child has found so many interesting topics! And the teachers are exceptional! They've shown me & my child time & time again that they care about my kid and do their best to relay info to the learners & they too, are excited & engaged about the class. - Lyllyan, US
From the fundamentals like math, science, and cooking to more specialized areas like coding, creative writing, or even mindfulness for kids, there's a teacher for every subject. So, whether your child is a budding mathematician, an aspiring historian, or just curious about the world, Outschool’s teachers are there to guide them on their educational adventure.
They’re so much more than just teachers; they’re guides who help turn the journey of learning into an exciting and fulfilling path of discovery.
You’ll discover easy record-keeping and progress tracking
Depending on where you live, the requirements for tracking your child’s learning can range from loose and informal to extremely strict. But regardless of where you are on the official spectrum, it’s always a good idea to build a picture of your child’s learning journey.
Why? Because homeschooling can feel like you're the captain of a ship charting through unmarked waters. Do we know where we’re going? Are we going the right way to be able to get there? Will we know when and how to change direction? In traditional schooling, the progress measures–and the tracking along the way - are set, defined, and handled. As a homeschooler, it’s all on you.
Enter Outschool, your trusty first mate, ready to turn what can feel like a tricky navigational experience into smooth sailing. Think of it as your homeschooling logbook, neatly organizing your child’s educational escapades into a coherent and presentable format.
Each class on Outschool follows a regular schedule, making it easy to track, record, and show attendance and participation. But it’s not just about showing up; it’s about what happens in these classes. From projects and assignments to quizzes and lively discussions, the work your child produces will be a tangible and presentable testament to their learning journey.
This structured approach extends beyond individual classes. The variety of courses taken over time paints a comprehensive picture of your child’s educational development. It’s like having a mosaic of learning experiences that, piece by piece, to form a beautiful picture of their academic growth.
Outschool was key to providing my daughter with debates, interactive discussions, projects, presentations, and teacher-evaluated assignments relevant to her grade 8 provincial curriculum. I could not have homeschooled this year without Outschool. - Christal, CA
While you’re at the helm of your homeschooling ship, think of Outschool as the reliable compass and chart that helps you navigate and log, keeping track of where you’ve been and how far you’ve come. It’s about making record-keeping less of a chore and more of a natural showcase of your child’s educational journey – a journey filled with discovery, growth, and a whole lot of Outschool magic.
Personal growth is at the heart of everything.
Deepak Chopra once said, "If a child is poor in math but good at tennis, most people would hire a math tutor. I would rather hire a tennis coach.” This philosophy resonates deeply with Outschool’s approach to tutoring, where the focus is not just on bolstering areas of weakness but also on celebrating and nurturing areas of strength.
In traditional education, there's often an emphasis on 'fixing' areas where a child might struggle. Outschool turns this notion on its head. Yes, if your child finds fractions or the periodic table baffling, Outschool’s tutors are there to help demystify those subjects. But what if we also put energy into where they shine? Imagine the boost in confidence and joy your child gets from excelling further in something they already love, like coding, creative writing, or, yes, even tennis.
Outschool offers a vast array of tutoring options, across academic subjects and interest areas, in both group and1-on-1 settings. This diverse range of learning opportunities means your child can delve deeper into their passions and hobbies. It's about balanced learning, where fostering strengths can be given as much focus as strengthening weaknesses.
With Outschool, you’re not just getting an educational service; you’re embracing a philosophy that every aspect of your child’s intellect and creativity is worth nurturing.
We love Outschool so much! It has completely changed our homeschool experience. My 10-year-old daughter was able to do math and science through Outschool during the last school year, and it was such a positive experience. She had great teachers, learned a lot, and made friends. She is also involved in several extracurricular Outschool classes. She’s been doing a writing club for about a year now that she loves so much. Her writing has improved; she’s made friends; she feels empowered in her writing, and she looks forward to her club every week! She’s also taken several drawing classes. We haven’t had a single class that we didn’t love! I can’t say enough things about Outschool. They have seriously changed our lives for the better, and I’m so grateful we found them! Jasmine, US
It’s totally accessible and affordable
In the quest for quality homeschooling resources, the most important question is often: “Can I afford this?”
With Outschool, the answer is almost certainly yes.
Outschool breaks the mold of expensive private tutoring and costly educational programs, offering a variety of classes at prices that won’t make your bank account shudder. Whether it’s diving into the depths of marine biology, exploring the cosmos, or mastering a new art technique, these experiences are priced for accessibility.
A million times 5 stars! I can't believe how long I ignored the Outschool ads I keep seeing. I had a totally different idea of what it was. These are typically small, live classes with teachers or homeschool moms. So much variety! My girl has literally taken 100s of classes and is almost never disappointed. Angela, US
But don’t let the affordability fool you. The value is immense. Every class is an investment in your child's growth, both in their academic journey and their personal development. Outschool’s commitment to accessible education means that children have the opportunity to explore their passions and strengthen their skills in a supportive environment without putting financial strain on the family.

From math and social groups for my autistic child, ELA, special interests, and science. The teachers are phenomenal, caring, and engaging. My child is even excited to take classes through the summer!
