Outschool, Inc. is an American online marketplace of virtual classes for children.[1] It is headquartered in San Francisco, California.[2]

Outschool was co-founded in 2015 by Amir Nathoo, alongside former Google employee Mikhail Seregine and Nick Grandy, an engineer working for Airbnb.[3][4]

Using seed money from startup accelerator Y Combinator, Nathoo and company created the platform's website in 2016; the first class was released shortly after in 2017.[3]
