Outschool is an online marketplace where families can find educational classes and activities through a website and apps. Classes are intended for children ages 1–18; its catalog promotes more than 140,000 live online classes and subjects for ages 3–18. Families can choose recurring weekly classes, self-paced formats, tutoring, and other options.
