Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Outschool Pod?

A pod is a small, consistent group of learners who learn together in the same virtual classroom. Outschool Pods meet virtually and take live classes with a consistent weekly schedule. All pods are facilitated by a group of top-rated Outschool teachers. Pods are a great option for building community, consistency, and convenience into your learner’s semester.

What are the benefits?

There are lots! Your learner gets: 

  • Custom curriculum curated by top-rated Outschool educators
  • Private pod classes to provide a more tailored learning experience
  • An established routine with set meeting times each week (and simple scheduling for you)
  • A community of other learners to discover knowledge together and form lasting friendships

You’ll set them up for a successful school semester and enrich their day-to-day by exposing them to other kids from diverse cultures and interests.

Who are the educators?

All Outschool Pods are taught by qualified and experienced Outschool educators with a passion to inspire learners to love learning.

How many learners are in a pod?

Pods need to have at least 4 learners. For the best learner experience, we recommend limiting pods to 12 learners.

How much does a pod class cost?

Prices for pod classes depend on the learning hours per week and the type of curriculum you choose. As with all Outschool classes, the price of the class is set by our educators.

Is this program accredited?

This program is not accredited. However, Outschool Pods can be used as a part of your homeschooling  instruction plan.

Is this program an option for homeschooling?

Outschool Pods are a great option for homeschoolers looking to add structure and socialization to their day. They can be used for complete grade-level curriculum across all core subjects, or supplementary grade-level curriculum in a few specific subjects.

What if I don't already have a pod?

You can register for a pre-existing Pod on Outschool!
