🎉 Outschool has been named Children’s Home Learning Product of the Year at the Digital Education Awards 2025! 🎉 We're incredibly proud of this recognition, which celebrates innovation, creativity, and real impact in digital learning. The judges highlighted "Outschool was recognised by the judges as a pioneering and impactful platform that has transformed the landscape of online learning through live, interest-based education. The judges commended its ability to provide a vast, inclusive ecosystem of learning opportunities that connect children around the world with engaging instructors and enriching experiences beyond traditional schooling... While the platform’s focus on enrichment and alternative education was considered highly relevant, the judges noted that its core strength lies in personalisation and engagement rather than formal academic outcomes. Nonetheless, they recognised that Outschool’s learner-led model represents a meaningful contribution to the evolution of 21st-century education by empowering children to learn through choice, creativity, and connection." This award is a testament to our educators, families, partners, and the kids who show us every day that learning is most powerful when it’s driven by passion and purpose. Here’s to building a future where every child can discover what they love. 💛🚀

When kids create, they grow. That’s the driving force behind our new collaboration with KPop Demon Hunters star Audrey Nuna — a first-of-its-kind music showcase for Outschool kids ages 6–18. 🎶 Young creators can submit original work across vocals, dance, instruments, and musical theatre. Finalists win prizes and a spot in a live masterclass with Audrey herself. 🎤 It’s one more way we’re helping kids turn passion into purpose and reimagine learning as something expressive, human, and deeply personal. 👉 Variety has the full story: https://lnkd.in/dzw9v4k9 👏 Know a kid ready to share their voice?

Outschool's Cassie Olguin and JoAnn Campbell Kilpatrick were thrilled to attend Families Empowered's "Celebrating School Choice: Rolling Out the Future of Education" event last week. The event honored Representative Brad Buckley and Senator Brandon Creighton and celebrated the incredible work of CEO Colleen Dippell and the Families Empowered team. For more than 16 years, Families Empowered has provided free, bilingual support for more than 100,000 families and partnered with 2,500+ schools statewide, helping families navigate their education options and access the learning environments that best fit their needs. Outschool is proud to sponsor Families Empowered and stand alongside them in their mission to ensure every family can find the right learning environment for their child. 👏 Huge thanks to Colleen Dippel and the Families Empowered team (including Catherine Kinsel, Deanna Sheaffer, and Dr. Tihalia Brown) for their leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment to families in Texas. 👏

Three in five parents say they want alternatives to their assigned public school yet four in five students remain enrolled in one. As $5B in direct-to-family Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) expand across 18+ states, one question defines the moment: 👉 How do we ensure that choice truly equals access? Join Christine Glandorf of Outschool and Justin D. of Outschool.org at EDTECH WEEK next week for Designing for Access: Tech That Makes School Choice Work for Families — a conversation on how technology can bridge the access gap and make educational choice work for all families. 💡 We’ll explore: • How to design low-cost, scalable tech that meets families where they are • The equity tradeoffs in a rapidly evolving school choice landscape • What public-private-nonprofit partnerships can teach us about building systems that work across communities This is more than a policy discussion—it’s about creating real pathways to opportunity through thoughtful partnerships, design and innovation.
