TWO WAYS TO HOMESCHOOL

Boxed curriculum or the Outschool approach

An honest side-by-side so you can decide what fits your family.
BOXED CURRICULUM

One plan, one voice, everything included

All subjects planned for you in a single scope and sequence
One publisher's philosophy and teaching style throughout
Self-taught from a workbook, or a parent teaching from a guide
Flat cost per year, usually paid up front
Less flexible if a subject isn't working for your kid
Best for families who want a decision made for them.
THE OUTSCHOOL APPROACH

Live learning with an expert teacher, one class at a time

Every class is taught live by a vetted teacher, many certified, who knows the subject
Choose the format that fits: live small groups, self-paced, or 1-on-1 tutoring
Follow the method you want — Montessori, Orton-Gillingham, Beast Academy, Singapore Math, Saxon, and more
Pay per class, so budgets scale with what you actually use
Use it for one subject you want to outsource, or for a full curriculum
Best for families who want expert teaching, tailored subject by subject.

What homeschool families say

"Outschool has been an amazing addition to our homeschool…the teachers my kids have had have all been amazing professionals that are helpful and encouraging! My son has been in lessons with one of his teachers for over three years and has grown by leaps and bounds."
Nicole E.
"Outschool was the first educational online website that I trusted for my kid 6 years ago, and I still turn to them today to aid in my children's learning journeys. As a homeschooler, I can't teach every single subject, and I know that when I turn to Outschool, I can find an educator that is well-versed in the subjects my kid wants and needs to learn about, and the educators are EXCITED to teach it!"
Addie F.
"Engaging teachers who really take the time to get to know my kids, their interests, and learn the best ways they can help grow their confidence. Wide variety of classes to choose from. My child with autism has found such community with other students and her teachers. Love the support and joy Outschool brings to our homeschool life."
Cassie O.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Questions parents ask before they start

Honest answers, including where Outschool isn't the right fit.

What ages is Outschool for?

Outschool is for kids ages 3 to 18. Every class lists an age range, so a 7-year-old is grouped with kids close in age rather than with teenagers.

Can I use Outschool for just one subject?

Yes, and most families start that way. Pick the subject you'd rather not teach yourself, enroll in one class, and keep the rest of your week as it is. You can add more later.

Live, self-paced, or 1-on-1. Which should I pick?

Live small groups are best for discussion and accountability. Self-paced works when your week is unpredictable. 1-on-1 tutoring is the right call when a kid needs targeted help or wants to move faster. Mixing formats is normal.

How much does it cost?

You pay per class, starting around $10. There's no bundle to buy, so a light year costs less than a boxed program and a heavy year can cost more. Group classes cost less per hour than 1-on-1 tutoring.

Who teaches the classes?

Independent teachers. Some are certified classroom teachers, some are subject-matter experts, and some are artists, scientists, or coders sharing their work. Every teacher goes through a background check, and profiles show credentials, ratings, and reviews.

Can I use ESA or scholarship funds?

Many families do. Outschool classes are eligible under a number of state Education Savings Account programs and third-party scholarships. Eligibility depends on your state, so check the current list before enrolling.
