Outschool, a trailblazer in online education, launches Outschool Courses, a groundbreaking platform designed to empower homeschooling and alternative education families. This initiative underscores Outschool’s commitment to personalized learning, offering families the flexibility to curate bespoke educational experiences tailored to each learner’s unique needs.
In response to a shifting educational landscape post-pandemic, Outschool conducted a survey of over 1,000 U.S. parents, revealing a growing preference for alternative educational models. Notably, 29% of respondents support state-funded alternatives to public education, highlighting a demand for customizable learning environments. Amir Nathoo, CEO and Co-Founder of Outschool, emphasizes the platform’s dedication to meeting these evolving needs: “Outschool Courses streamline the homeschooling process, empowering families to craft enriching educational journeys that resonate with their learner’s passions and strengths.”
Bolstering its commitment to personalized education, Outschool also introduces dedicated tutoring services and an AI Teaching Assistant (AI TA) for enhanced learning support. These innovations cater to the increasing demand for tailored academic guidance, ensuring that students receive individualized attention and comprehensive progress tracking. “Our focus extends beyond traditional classroom boundaries,” Nathoo affirms. “Through advanced tutoring solutions and AI technology, we equip educators and learners with the tools needed to thrive in a dynamic educational landscape.”
Outschool’s strategic expansion comes on the heels of a $110M Series D funding round, valuing the company at $3B. Led by Tiger Global Management and supported by investors such as BOND and Lightspeed Ventures, this funding underscores Outschool’s pivotal role in redefining global online education. “The investment reflects confidence in Outschool’s innovative approach and its impact on educational accessibility,” states Evan Feinberg of Tiger Global. “We are excited to partner with Outschool as they continue to pioneer personalized learning solutions.”
As Outschool embarks on its next phase of growth, the platform remains steadfast in its mission to cultivate inclusive and engaging learning environments. With over 140,000 live, online classes spanning arts, sciences, humanities, and more, Outschool caters to learners aged 3 to 18. For families seeking financial assistance, Outschool.org provides access to subsidized classes and camps, ensuring equitable access to quality education.
