Outschool is a marketplace of live online small-group classes for kids aged 3-18, taught by independent teachers who set their own prices.
New families can take $20 off a first class, and a 24-hour cancellation window gives you a refund if a class turns out to be the wrong fit.
Outschool's catalog is organized into four kinds of learning: academic courses that run for a year, a semester or a single topic; one-on-one tutoring booked on a weekly or as-needed basis; electives and enrichment; and weekly social clubs built around shared interests. Popular searches include Spanish, writing, math, reading and coding. Many teachers have experience with neurodivergent learners, and the site highlights classes for needs such as ADHD, anxiety, autism, dyslexia and speech or language impairment.
Accounts are held by parents or guardians, who book on a child's behalf. Ongoing weekly classes are billed each week, with the period rolling over on Sunday mornings Pacific time, and families can stop them whenever they like. Subscriptions started at a promotional rate renew at the full price unless canceled first.

Outschool's pages don't show where the promo code box sits.
The $20 first-class offer is a code that works on your first class only, with additional terms.
Accounts belong to parents or guardians, so the adult who books is the one who enters it.
Because each teacher prices their own class, the $20 takes a bigger share off a cheaper class.
A weekly class bought at a promotional price renews at the full price.
Cancel before the Sunday rollover if you only wanted to try a single week.
