Loved by families across the country

ā€œI LOVE OUTSCHOOL!ā€ My children are taking about 5 classes each (huge thanks to the ESA FUNDS!). They are taking enrichment classes like chess, critical thinking, singing lessons, piano lessons, Spanish, and kindergarten classes. I LOVE that we can choose core classes but also classes they want to do on their own. I also love the fact we can choose to do a live classes, self paced, or private 1:1 classes as well. The best part of Outschool? We can choose when we want the class! Early mornings or late evenings.ā€
