Outschool has been a solid success for us since we started using it in 2019. We've met so many talented teachers through this platform and it's great for tutoring in specific subjects such as math, as well as pursuing special interests such as baking. Outschool has increased my respect for teachers (and I already esteemed them pretty highly!). Seeing what they do to teach my kids is truly heartwarming. We've never had a bad Outschool teacher!
We have spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on Outschool over the past four years learning on the platform. Teachers we love have become part of the weekly rhythm of our homeschool time and have helped us achieve reading, writing, math, and science skills with minimal prep on our part. One of our favorite classes was a year long pod of first graders all learning together.
The best part is that when our skills or interests change, we can find new classes and teachers to challenge us. We're never locked into a decision if the class isn't a good fit or if our schedule changes. We even have the option to take self-paced classes where we can bring our materials offline along with us. I never pictured homeschooling would look this way, but now that it does, I can't imagine what we would do without it!
My family has been using Outschool for over 5 years now and we absolutely love it! My oldest son now has his favorite teachers and can choose from tons of classes. We use Outschool as a homeschooling family and it's perfect when we need more support with certain subjects, such as math or reading. Our kids love their Outschool classes!
Outschool has been such a great homeschooling resource for us. We’ve taken all kinds of classes on Outschool that have really helped broaden the learning experience for our kids. Even before we began homeschooling, it was a way to access kid’s language classes that our small town just doesn’t have.
My family loves Outschool! My kids (11 & 14) have taken Outschool classes for the past two years. It has made such a difference in our homeschooling. We have found teachers that they love, and we plan to continue with them as long as we can!
Our family uses Outschool for extracurricular and passion subjects. We really appreciate the flexible scheduling and quality of the classes. My kids have taken piano, math tutoring, photography classes, even speciality clubs like the Junior Railroad Club. My kids have been asking me to register them for extracurricular lessons this year. Highly recommended!
Several years ago, a good friend mentioned Outschool to me. I had no idea what Outschool was but after speaking with my friend I was intrigued. I went home, went to my computer, and looked up Outschool; which changed our family's homeschool path. Not only was I impressed with the amount, variety, and quality of classes being offered but I was also amazed at the flexibility of the classes. My kiddos have all had wonderful and positive experiences. The classes my kids have taken have included classes such as: voice lessons, stock market, math, art, creative writing, gaming club, speech classes and so much more! This has been the best thing to happen to us in our homeschool journey and to this day I still thank my friend for mentioning it.
My kids have taken classes on ALL KINDS of platforms. Some of are very niche specific. My 7 year old daughter wanted to take her first online class and I loved that there was so much variety to choose from. She came out of her first art class "glowing" and telling me it was so much fun. The class was so hands on and very engaging. She is excited to take her next class and bring a piece of art work to show in class. It was a great learner experience for a young student...very thankful!
Outschool is a phenomenal educational platform. My kids (14, 12, 9 and 7) enjoy their classes so much. We’ve had so many successes using Outschool and having been using it since 2018. My kids have taken part in over 100 small size academic classes, social clubs and enrichment classes. Outschool is an integral part of our homeschooling journey. The teachers are so caring and invested. I love that there are students and teachers from all over the world! I highly recommend Outschool.
My children have been enrolled in classes on Outschool for several years, and the experience has been exceptional. We've had the privilege of learning from outstanding educators who have provided opportunities that simply aren't available in our rural community. I’m incredibly grateful to have Outschool as an integral part of our homeschooling journey.
Outschool is an absolute life saver for my sanity and my three home educated children's education. My youngest son is ASD and ADHD and struggles in group classes. There are so many 1-2-1 classes that are affordable that he's spoilt for choice now. My other children have been able to find classes to supplement their education in the areas where I struggle and thrive.
I've found it really easy to use and there are some really great teachers on there who will go above and beyond for my children.
We love Outschool so much! Our family recently switched to homeschooling and I am so grateful for the amazing teachers I've found on Outschool. All four of my daughters take classes weekly and enjoy everything from math to Fortnite!
We love using out school! I have four kids, and we live in a more rule area. Our school allows me to diversify, but my kids are learning based on their own interests and passion. We have used Outschool for a variety of classes, including instruments, art, coding, and more for over two years now. I loved it with a membership. I can use credits across all of my Kids accounts for ongoing classes or self-paced classes. We’re big fans about school over here and really think it is such a great resource!
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Outschool! The classes are engaging, the teaching is fantastic, and my kids look forward to logging on. It’s been a great way to expand their learning beyond our regular curriculum.
Outschool has been such a great resources for our family. As a homeschooling family with two kiddos, it’s allowed us to broaden our learning experiences by trying new things like courses we never would have thought to try. We love the PE classes and how easy it is to switch around what we need to do. We love the flexibility Outschool gives us. Definitely recommended giving it a try!
We have used Outschool for years and my son loves his classes. He’s done a wide variety of classes including: Lego club, Minecraft club, pokemon, Yugioh, Japanese, Writing, DND, and lots more. We love the flexibility and freedom of scheduling and the amazing teachers.
Outschool is the perfect fit for so many of my friends' families! They can use it to supplement their homeschool lessons, fill in gaps with enrichment classes, like PE, art or music, AND nourish the very special interests of each kiddo, like learning how to crochet, bake bread or garden!
Outschool has completely transformed my son’s learning experience. He is on the spectrum and homeschooled. We’ve been able to find amazing teachers to work with him in an online classroom setting as well as one-on-one. He also loves the social clubs, gamer clubs, and specialty classes such as spooky history. Highly recommended!
I have been homeschooling for over 20+ years. By far, Outschool is the best! It checks all the boxes for us! The variety and availability of classes, flexibility and quality of education. My son’s test scores have soared! They also offer tutoring and life skills which is importance to us. If you’re thinking of trying Outschool, it is worth exploring!
Been using Outschool for years and the quality of the teachers we have found is amazing. We have found really grounded, kind and respectful educators who manage to keep the class content fun while also ensuring all the kids are respectful towards one another. My child never feels insecure or afraid to speak up in their classes.
It’s a breath of fresh air compared to our in person public school experiences over the years.
My daughter has been using Outschool for a few years now. We first started it right around the time Covid hit and the world turned to online everything. It has been an incredible resource to add to our schedule and so easy to use. We’ve even joined classes during vacations. Every teacher we’ve has been excellent- kind, supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated. We’ve been with the same teachers for a few years now and absolutely love the classes they offer. There is a class for pretty much any topic you can think of! A personal fave of my daughter’s includes Squishmallows!
Outschool was a life saver during Covid, but we keep coming back for more because it has so much to offer. The academic classes have been helpful when we’ve struggled in school and the enrichment classes are a just right fit for whatever my daughter is into at the moment. She’s taken classes about Barbie, cooking, Roblox, drawing and more. As the mom of an only child, Outschool has been a great way for her to interact with peers. She’s enjoyed meeting people from around the world. Now that she’s a teen there are still classes that she can find to meet her learning and social needs. Outschool really is a gift that keeps on giving.
Love the flexibility and peace of mind that comes with Outschool. My son loves the classes and the teachers put in a lot of effort
We love the flexibility and selection of courses! There’s truly an outschool class for everything, which is perfect if you’re following a child-led homeschooling approach!
We’ve been using Outschool for a few years now, and honestly, it’s made such a big difference in our homeschool. I love that my kids can take live classes on pretty much anything they’re interested in - we've done everything from bug clubs to dolphin training to d&d style writing classes. The teachers are great, the classes are flexible, and it’s given my kids opportunities to learn from people who are really passionate about what they teach. I truly can't recommend it enough!
We have been using Outschool since 2020/2021. We have used it for so many reasons. We did reading classes when my girl struggled, lots of fun or social classes, art classes, niche classes. She’s in a 3D design class right now that is top notch. It’s such a great resource for homeschoolers who want to add some diversity to their kiddo’s education.
My child is a long time, active Outschool learner since Covid times. She has enjoyed taking a variety of classes that interest her! There are so many options and teachers who have the expertise with neurodivergent children. There are plenty of options on times. My daughter has stayed with multiple educators for years now. She truly enjoys her Outschool classes.
My kids have been using Outschool for several years and it’s been such a gift for my family in so many ways. My 8th grader utilizes Outschool for all of his curriculum - core and enrichment, and it’s allowed to him to move at his own accelerated pace as well as to deep dive his passion subjects like literature and the arts. I also have a neurodivergent 4th grader who Outschool has given her confidence back to and allowed her to choose personalized, affirming courses based on her interests. We love Outschool so much.
We've been using Outschool since 2016 and its been a great option as homeschoolers. As my children have aged so has the rigorous of the options with both my teens taking AP level courses last year AND Scoring perfect 5's!
Outschool has been an incredible platform for exploring high-quality extracurricular learning at home. From PE to music, art, foreign language, and even beginner coding and computer skills, there are so many engaging options for kids of all ages and interests.
It’s especially helpful for families who want to supplement their child’s education with fun, interactive experiences that go beyond traditional academics. Classes are easy to browse and enroll in, and the live, small-group format makes it feel personal and social even though it's totally virtual! We love that about Outschool!
If you're looking to add creativity, movement, and variety to your child’s day, Outschool is 100% worth checking out. The teachers and classes are the best!!
My kids tried different live Outschool classes along with a self-paced course. As a parent of a big family, I love the convenience of scheduling the classes, also the fact that it's easy to cancel if something doesn't work for us. There's no pressure to stay in a class. Teachers are friendly and groups are small. Sometimes we could get one-on-one time with a teacher for the same price which is awesome. If the class requires additional materials, they're usually something you can easily find at home. I don't recall a time that I would be stressed from the need of going to buy something specific for the activity. That's what happened with me when we used another learning system though.
Outschool has become an essential part of our educational journey. Whether we're supplementing our homeschool curriculum or looking for engaging enrichment, there's always a class that fits our needs. One of the things I love most is the ability to tailor learning to my child’s level and interests.
The teachers have consistently been supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating, especially when it comes to working with neurodivergent learners. It's refreshing to see education delivered in a way that’s flexible, inclusive, and fun. My child genuinely looks forward to their classes.
Scheduling is a breeze, the pricing is reasonable, and in some cases, we’ve even been able to use ESA funds. Outschool makes personalized, high-quality education more accessible and enjoyable for families like ours. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Outschool has been such a positive experience for our family. My child looks forward to logging in each week — the classes are engaging, creative, and taught by passionate educators who really “get” kids.
The platform is easy to use, with a huge variety of classes to choose from, so it’s simple to find something that fits our schedule and interests.
As a parent of a neurodivergent learner, I especially appreciate the small group sizes and supportive atmosphere. My child feels understood and included, and it’s made such a difference in their confidence.
I can’t recommend Outschool enough for families looking for flexible, high-quality online learning.
My daughter started using out school when she was six years old in 2020 here in the state of Louisiana school has helped my daughter in so many ways and has taught her the foundational skills that she’s so badly is lacking due to the school system here they have great teachers support is off the charts amazing And everything is perfect. I will continue to use our school for as long as I have a child in the school system thank you our school for everything.
Outschool has been life changing for our homeschool journey! There are so many classes to choose from ranging from standard, basic subjects to very specific high-interest specialized areas. The educators are amazing and my son has made several connections with other kids that have grown into real friendships off platform! I can't recommend Outschool enough!
My children have used Outschool for over 8 years. It has been an incredible resource to add to our homeschool schedule. Every teacher has been excellent- kind, supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated. We love how much Outschool has grown over the years. There is a class for pretty much any topic your child can dream of.
We have been avid Outschool users since 2020. I have 3 kids of varying ages, interested and needs. My oldest is neurodiverse and he used Outschool for SAT prep, social skills classes, writing, and even fun escape rooms. My middle child loves art and takes a weekly drawing class. She's been doing that for 2 years and has really improved not only her drawing skills, but a massive impact on her self esteem. My youngest loves games and was part of a virtual board game group. She also just got audition prep for her latest theater production. Outschool is always my first stop for any educational supports, extracurriculars, or special interests. I can always find a class and we have had wonderful experiences. Best of all, I don't have to drive all day and my kids get more time to enjoy life instead of sitting in the car!!
My child and I really enjoy Outschool! The choices are endless, everything from hobbies to core academics. The platform is easy to use for myself as a parent and for my 7 year old as well. I also appreciate the recap sent to the parent after the class because it allows for me to follow up with my child to continue the learning and fun outside the class.
Outschool has been such a great resource for our family — honestly, I don’t think I’d feel comfortable homeschooling without it.
One of my kids craves knowledge. He loves reading books, but he also really benefits from the individualized attention he gets in Outschool classes. It’s easy for me to find small class sizes — many of his classes are just him or have only three other kids. (This is by choice; one of my other kids actually prefers the larger group classes, which are also available.)
I prefer Outschool over other live class options for a few reasons:
Direct communication with teachers — it’s simple and easy.
Flexibility in class sizes — we can choose what works best for each child.
Easy to pause or stop classes — if we’re experiencing burnout or our in-person schedule changes, we can adjust without hassle.
Overall, Outschool gives us both flexibility and personalization, which makes homeschooling feel much more manageable. Outschool makes learning fun and engaging for my kids. One of my still young kids sets alarms - not to go anywhere - but for his outschool classes - in case I forget - he never wants to miss them.
I really appreciate the variety of educators on this platform, as well as the social opportunities for homeschooling learners. My learner is very happy with their classes, and this gives us great social time while at home. Outschool has been such a great addition to our school schedule!
My kiddo is a long time, active Outschool learner having taken classes in many subjects and across all formats available. Our kiddo has stayed with multiple educators for years now.
Outschool has been a wonderful option for my recent homeschooler. There are a wide number of classes covering academics to hobbies and we have found some great teachers whose classes are aligned with our son’s learning needs. The ease of use is what makes difference in the online classroom experience for my son. He can view the recording as many times as he wants to take notes or just to revisit the concepts again. I am really glad we found Outschool.
We love Outschool for the variety of classes and the flexibility! My 9 year old son is an only child and it's difficult at times to take him to playdates or classes. He loves minecraft so he can learn math using minecraft as well as develop his social skills playing the game with other new friends. It has been a "game changer" for our family. Thank you Outschool.
We love how many high quality classes are available for our homeschool students on this platform. Mh kids have had countless great experiences with art classes, chess courses, coding, equine science, and much more! I can't say enough good things about this great platform!
Outschool has been a great resource for our family. Our children are in public school, where there isn't a lot of time for all of the electives they want to try. With Outschool, they can pursue their own interests. Sometimes they take classes on weekends and sometimes on school breaks, but there is always something fun! Both have taken art classes, coding classes, and escape rooms. One had a great time in a self-paced percussion class. Whatever your child wants to learn, you'll find it on Outschool.
Outschool has been an incredible resource for my child. One of the things I appreciate most is that it allows them to learn at their own level, which can vary from subject to subject. My child has the freedom to dive deeply into areas of personal interest, in a way I haven’t seen offered on other platforms. The teachers have been wonderful—friendly, communicative, and always willing to accommodate requests to make learning easier and more comfortable. The flexible scheduling has also been a huge help, making it easy to fit classes into our family’s routine. Overall, Outschool has completely transformed learning for us. It’s no longer a chore—it’s engaging, enjoyable, and something my child looks forward to every day.
Outschool has been an enormous help to our homeschool family. With Outschool, I can find support for hard-to-teach subjects, classes that teach academic subjects outside the box, 1:1 tutoring, and more. Some of our favorite classes have focused on creative writing, foreign languages, and support for our neurodivergent daughter. It's a fantastic option for interest-based learning that can support both your academic and educational needs.
We hired an in-person tutor for my son's private school standardized testing. It was a big fail. We hired Outschool tutors, and my son's test scores improved. It was so much more affordable and convenient. We have used Outschool for years - this is just one example. Highly recommend for after-school activities, tutoring, or if you homeschool.
We love Outschool for our homeschooling journey! My kids (7,10) take a variety of classes from English essay writing to book clubs. There are so many classes to choose from and really help explore topics my kids love learning about. They also accept ESA funds on select classes. Check it out!
