We have had such a great experience with Outschool. Extremely easy to sign up for, learn about and explore new classes that fit in our homeschool family’s schedule. The teachers are welcoming, supportive, experienced and caring.

My family and I have used Outschool for the last several years and it remains a solid resource that we keep coming back to. My kids have used it for core subjects like math (ex.multiplication boot camp) and my oldest is getting ready to start a cooking class. The class offerings are unmatched.

Outschool has been a great addition to our homeschool. There are so many classes and subjects to choose from. My son has taken writing classes, music appreciation classes and even took some classes about building in Minecraft. The teachers have always been kind and patient with him. He is on the spectrum and sometimes needs a little more help and his teachers have always been willing to give extra support when needed. There are even one-on-one classes which have been excellent when my son needs them. We will continue using Outschool.

Outschool has been a complete game changer and life saver. Outschool allows my children to takes classes that meet they interests as well as socialize with like minded kids. Outschool is also the only platform that has been able to engage my autistic son.

As a parent, Outschool is an amazing space. It doesn’t matter if your child goes to public school or is homeschooled… there is something for everyone at almost every time of the day. So if you need full curriculum, topic support, a social club, or anything else… Outschool is for you. We’ve loved history classes, violin lessons, and more!

My son have taken 2 math camp classes before starting school for refresh and he likes it. I like that he can participate. No complaints. I will keep using Outschool.

The classes are really hit or miss. Some my kids have really loved, other are just okay and the cost does not reflect what you are getting. The cost of some classes are way over priced. We honestly pay quite a bit for a quick socializing class through Outschool but there really aren't any other options.

Signed up, paid and the video link didn't work, no way to contact anyone, no online help that dealt with the problem of the online classroom not working. Now going to have to go through a long drama of getting a refund and my daughter has missed her class. very annoying.

Love Outschool! Used it for many years!!! Every class the kids have taken has been great! Fantastic teachers. Not a single complaint with teachers or classes. However, my biggest complaint is paying for the classes. They now require you to buy “credits”. You buy these “credits” to pay for the classes. This convolutes how much you are actually paying for a class-by design…. And, also want monthly credit subscriptions. Ugh, I despise it so bad that I quite using Outschool. I miss the way it used to be when it was just stated a specified dollar amount for each class.

Unfortunately it’s more of a money machine than a legitimate teaching platform. The teachers are encouraged to act more like mindless robots than humans with thoughts and opinions.
The teachers are also not vetted by real humans. Applications are instantly accepted or rejected by an algorithm, so don’t get the idea that the person talking to your child has been approved by an actual human who cares. They haven’t.
Spend your money elsewhere and spare your child the wasted time.

We love using Outschool. My elementary-aged son recently took a geography class he loved and got so much out of it!

Outschool has been wonderful for our family, particularly with the variety of elective classes my grandchildren have attended. Both of them love art, and they have learned color theory, drawing, different techniques of painting and composition with some incredible artists who teach on Outschool. My oldest one is working on a portfolio to apply for a fine arts magnet school, and these instructors have really helped her focus and refine her work.

Outschool has been an amazing source of outsourcing educational needs but in a fun engaging way.

I love that there are so many class choices for so many different subjects, everything from nature classes to sports to math. I love that you can pay for each class as needed, they don't lock you into a membership, unless choose a membership.

Outschool continously provides access to high quality, live tutoring and classes for my students!

Terrible company, terrible customer service. Platform is also unclear to use. We never got to take the class that my daughter was keen on because it kept being cancelled.
Signed up for a month's membership that we never got to use. Cancelled it, and then got charged for the individual classes, even the one that didn't run.
Predatory company, providing no value, very poor customer service.
