Outschool

When your child’s interests stretch beyond what you can comfortably teach, Outschool’s marketplace of live classes can feel like adding dozens of specialists to your homeschool team. The platform hosts thousands of small-group video classes led by independent teachers in academics, hobbies, and social clubs, all searchable by age, topic, and schedule. Originally built for K–12 learners, Outschool emphasizes interaction: kids talk, share screens, and collaborate, not just watch slides. Parents we work with love the flexibility—sign up for a one-time class, a short series, or ongoing clubs—and the ability to read reviews and watch intro videos before enrolling. You pay per class, which can add up if you overbook, but it also lets you test subjects without buying full curricula. Because classes vary in style and rigor, we recommend starting with just one or two trusted teachers and building from there.
