Virtual platforms provide live online homeschool classes on topics your kids may not be able to learn in a traditional classroom setting.
Do you want to take advantage of your child’s free time in an educational way?
Would you love for them to learn new things and pursue passions outside of school or their homeschool curriculum?
Do you lack the time or the knowledge to teach them everything they want to learn?
Live, online classes via virtual programs provide kids and teens opportunities for entertainment, socialization, and learning just about anything.
So what’s the challenge? You may not have time to search through all the courses and available classes out there- and you may be worried about the quality of the online live classes- are they worth your money?
The best news? We use Outschool1. How to Socialize
I purposely put this first for shock value.….myth…busted!!! Homeschoolers and online school kids CAN have awesome social skills.
Last I checked, etiquette, table manners, how to make real friends (including being a true one), and how to speak to others with confidence weren’t part of a traditional school day.

Let them learn from experts – tweens and teens will love the classes on OutschoolOutschool and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the options (even personal hygiene tutorials are available if you’ve got a tween who isn’t a fan of showers!
3. How to Design Your Room (or an Entire House)
My own daughter can give a personal testimony to this one- she learned a great amount from a summer Outschool4. How to Change a Tire (and other Auto Stuff)
This one surprised me too! My son enrolled in a one-time class on Outschool all about tires- it included a how-to on changing a tire and all the ins and outs of tire maintenance. He also enjoyed a short-term (once per week) more in-depth course on the mechanics of cars. Just search for “tires” or “auto” in the Outschool5. How to Excel at Public Speaking
Options range from one-time courses on how to sound interesting on camera to detailed instructional classes designed to help your child become an expert. Simply search for “public speaking” on Outschool with your child’s age.
Outschool7. How to Tape an Ankle Sprain (or Other Body Part)
All three of my kids are athletes and interested in human anatomy. We were excited to see some classes on Outschool taught by athletic trainers! Kids can learn from an expert just how to deal with sports injuries and even how to tape an ankle sprain. One way to find these classes is to type in the body part (eg, ankle, shoulder)- you can also search for “athletic trainer” in the Outschool search.
8. How to Become an Entrepreneur
Got a budding business person growing in your family? OutschoolOutschool offers a class in it. Search for “entrepreneur” and your child’s age range to find the right classes for your learner.
