Can't find classes that work for my homeschooler. She was so excited to start mandarin and the class got canceled for low enrollment. I wish they would make it easier to find a class.

Confusion and frustration..

There has been a lot of confusion on how this works. I was told through the website chat that I needed to have a CC on file to charge for the classes. Then I was able to do it with ESA. But I had to do each class 1 by 1... (time consuming) Somehow my child was dropped from a class, unfortunately, now it has a wait list so he can't get back in. And finding another class it interferes with a class he is already enrolled in. you can drop but you don't get $ back for unused time... My kid enjoys the classes but as a parent this is messy!

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m really sorry for the confusion.

We’d love the opportunity to take a closer look at what happened with your child’s enrollment and help clarify any questions around payments, ESA usage, or class access. Our team can also check if there are any options available for rejoining the class or finding a suitable alternative that fits your schedule.

Please email support@outschool.com or click "Help" anywhere on the Outschool website, and we will be glad to assist you.

The experience with outschool is…flexible and comfortable.

The experience with outschool is amazing. My son goes to school but has been participating in various drawing and game clubs since last summer. His most favorite is anything about dinosaurs. The teachers are so helpful, knowledgeable and flexible. They really engage the students in the process and direction of class topics.

Outschool has been an amazing experience and adventure

Outschool has been an amazing experience for my five year old Granddaughter! She has participated in a K-Pop dance class and she weekly joins Miss Brittany for a princes imaginative play group where she gets to dress up like a princess , bring her favorite toys and interact with other kids her age! Having a one child household sometimes becomes lonely for the only child so we absolutely love this special play time that brings other kids her age together to play! It’s all done via zoom. And we are always present in the room during the class and it’s all been a very appropriate and safe space every single class. It’s definitely worth trying. I bet you and your kiddos will love it just as much as my family does.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

On Outschool, we let teachers share what they're passionate about instead of a set curriculum. While we vet class content, if you want to get the details or share feedback, the best place to go is directly to the instructor. To get in touch, go to the class details page, scroll down to the teacher section, and click the 'Ask a Question button.' That way, you can message them directly and get your questions answered.
