Getting to know how Outschool memberships work
Outschool memberships offer flexibility, savings, and convenience for your family’s learning. Since every family has unique needs, memberships provide options to fit different learning styles. Each plan includes monthly credits that can be used for any learner on your account, with more credits leading to greater savings—plus, no marketplace fees! In just three steps, you’ll see how a membership can add value to your family’s learning journey.
Step 1 – Choose the plan that fits your family’s budget and unlock extra savings!
💡 Tip for New Families: Not sure how many credits you’ll need? Browse Outschool’s class search to explore available classes, see enrollment prices in credits, and estimate how many you might use each month. This can help you choose the best plan for your learner’s interests and schedule!
💡 Tip for Established Outschoolers: To estimate your credit usage and find the best plan, visit the Membership Homepage and select a plan to view the “What happens to my enrollments?” pop-up. This will show your typical monthly credit use, helping you maximize savings!
Step 2 – Make the most of your membership: Use your credits and save on fees!
Once you’ve selected a plan, making the most of your membership ensures you maximize your savings and flexibility.
No Marketplace Fees – Unlike one-time purchases, memberships eliminate extra fees, saving you more.
Rollover Credits for Flexibility – Unused credits roll over (up to your plan’s max), so you don’t lose them as long as your membership remains active.
💡 Tip for New Families: Visit the Help Center to explore how Outschool works and get started with your first class!
