In their own words
Outschool
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. Subjects span math, language arts, writing, science, coding, engineering, physics, veterinary care, video games, cooking, dance, art, music, yoga, meditation, languages, and pop culture topics. All live classes take place through Zoom, with a maximum group size of 18 learners. Families can pay per class at the listed class price, or choose a membership for $40 a month, which provides 80 credits shared across learners on a family account. The membership includes a 14-day trial; eligible cancellations receive a full refund. Families with an account can join free events without purchasing a class. Free apps are available for iOS/iPadOS and Android/Chromebooks. Live classes are recorded, encrypted on a private server, and automatically deleted after 90 days. Educators complete identity verification and a background check using Persona.
