The Company

Outschool’s mission is to inspire kids to love learning. In our fast-changing world, the traditional educational system struggles to meet the diverse and evolving needs of young learners. Outschool reimagines this system, offering flexible and engaging learning experiences as a supplement and alternative to traditional education. By connecting learners with a global community of teachers and peers through our online platform, we make learning personal, dynamic, and deeply human.

We've made significant strides since launching our marketplace of live online classes in 2017. Finding initial success with secular homeschoolers, we then expanded to enrichment learning to meet the needs of a wider audience, growing our business 16x since 2019. Post-pandemic, we have evolved our platform to power academic learning, incorporated AI, and have begun to grow our international community. We're proud to have served over 1M passionate learners with more than $100M in annual bookings.
Driving disruptive, positive change in education is rewarding and hard. Outschool team members are encouraged to challenge themselves, take risks, and grow in their careers. We look for talented people whose sense of urgency, innate curiosity, and determination to drive impact will help Outschool achieve outsized results in pursuit of our mission. We invite you to be part of an ambitious team dedicated to ensuring every learner can navigate the future with curiosity, resilience, and a love of learning.

Outschool has been named Fast Company’s most innovative EdTech company in the world, and one of the top ten best startups for women from Elpha. Outschool has also been one of BuiltIn’s Best Remote Places to Work for the last two years and has appeared on Y Combinator’s Top Companies list for the last three years.

Community marketplace of live online classes for kids.

Outschool is a marketplace of live online classes for kids. Our mission is to inspire kids to love learning. We provide small group classes that meet over live video chat where learners are connected with teachers and classmates who share their interests. These classes are offered through our marketplace and conducted on our remote learning platform.

Our Values

Stand with Learners

We believe all kids should be at the center of their learning. We listen to kids, respect them, and stand with them. We partner with kids, their families, and educators to unlock opportunities for all kids. We are curious and always want to be learning how we can better serve kids. We’ll seek new insights and inputs from all stakeholders in our community. In order to stand with learners, we all must be lifelong learners and nurture the kid inside.

Bring Others in Purposefully

We believe a diversity of perspectives, experiences, and voices allows us to make the best decisions. People feel a sense of belonging when they have a connection to the work, each other, and our mission. We trust that we can be ourselves and take risks when we bring others into our thinking. Clarity of expectations and context allows everyone to be more effective in their role in a given situation. Transparency of decisions, roles, and process is important for psychological safety and team effectiveness.

Own the Opportunity

We believe there is a unique opportunity for Outschool to win the online learning market. Our impact requires focus, accountability, and prioritization of opportunities. People do great things when they have clarity, support, and autonomy to deliver against realistic yet ambitious goals. We are all responsible for our individual roles in shaping the future of Outschool. This chapter of Outschool’s growth will require an owner mindset.

Debate, Decide, Deliver

We believe healthy, honest dialogue leads to clearer thinking. The best decisions are made by weighing the opportunity against data and new perspectives. Decisions should be clear, concise, and communicated – and not remixed without compelling evidence. A bias to act outweighs waiting for perfect data and signal. Once commitments are made, we will hold one another, and ourselves, accountable to results.
