What It Does
Live Video Classes
Real teachers on Zoom-style video. Small groups typically 3-12 students.
Huge Course Catalog
200,000+ classes covering every subject, hobby, and interest imaginable.
Flexible Scheduling
One-time sessions, multi-week courses, or ongoing weekly clubs.
Social Connection
Kids interact with peers, building friendships beyond the homeschool bubble.
What It's Best For
Socialization and peer learning. Outschool solves the "but what about socialization?" question better than almost anything else. Kids interact with same-age peers who share their interests in structured, teacher-led settings.
Subjects you cannot teach yourself. Advanced math, foreign languages, coding, art techniques, and niche interests like marine biology or creative writing. Outschool lets your child learn from specialists.

How We Use It
We use Outschool for two things: a weekly creative writing club (socialization + writing practice) and a monthly science experiment class. Total cost runs about $80-100/month, but both kids look forward to it all week.
