Outschool Is Where Kids Love Learning

We make learning fun, social, and self-directed.

Our Story So Far...

Outschool is an innovative education platform that offers a variety of engaging, small-group classes online. Unlike traditional classes, Outschool classes give kids the unique opportunity to explore their interests in-depth via interactive, live video by experienced, independent educators.
When Outschool was founded in 2015, homeschoolers were the first to discover our classes, but it wasn’t long before kids in conventional schools began supplementing their education with fun and unique, interest-based classes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Outschool became vital to families who wanted to keep kids learning, social, and pursuing their passions.
Today, Outschool offers more than 140,000 live online classes to more than 1,000,000 learners in 183 countries worldwide.

Keeping Things Interesting

We know it’s easier to learn when you’re interested, so we are all about variety. With thousands of choices, kids can focus on what they love most, develop new skills, and develop friendships with kids who like the same things.

Fun & Friendships

Our classes are taught live and online, so learners and teachers can interact via video chat or text in real-time. Kids form real friendships on Outschool every day as they expand their knowledge and build their skills.

Teachers ♥ Us Too

Since Outschool handles enrollments, record keeping, and many other tasks that usually take up teachers’ time, our teachers can focus on sharing knowledge about topics they love.

Large-Scale Learning

Outschool offers corporate benefit programs for employees and partners with community organizations of all sizes, including public, private, and charter schools.
