Resource Review: Outschool

For the past couple of months, Zeah has been trying various Outschool classes.  She's tried escape rooms, maths lessons, and arts & crafts.  She's engaged with teachers from Australia and the US.  She's met other children aged 5-8 years, from all over the world.  And she's loved it!  As soon as a lesson ends, she asks what she's enrolled in next.  She finishes every lesson smiling and proud, encouraged and inspired.  Zeah is getting a lot more out of her Outschool classes than I expected.


_{Zeah uses a phone or tablet to access Outschool most of the time, it feels less restrictive than sitting at the computer.}

Outschool offers classes across every subject area, as well as classes and groups for specific interests, and social groups.  They have something for everyone aged 3 to 18 years.  I'm sure we would have used Outschool a lot with our teens if there were more classes in Australian time zones a few years ago.

Teachers and students on Outschool are from all over the world, with a rapidly growing presence in Australia.  This means Australian teachers, Australian learners, Australian content, and classes to suit Australian time zones!  About two-thirds of the classes Zeah has completed so far were with US-based teachers, but they were at about 10am AEST time on weekdays, which really suits us as homeschoolers in Queensland.  There is a Facebook group to help you connect with Australian Outschoolers.

I joined Outschool as their first Australian Ambassador last month, which means that I can offer you a free class!  If you're new to Outschool and you'd like US$20 off, go to Outschool.com and use the code HC20.  If you need help applying the code to your purchase, head here for instructions.
