What is OpenEd?

OpenEd is a tuition-free program for homeschool families. OpenEd helps families create a learning experience that works for their children. Rather than forcing families to choose between public/private, remote/on-site, part-time/full-time, large school/small school, homeschool/unschool, or any other approach, open education allows learners to take the best of all approaches and adapt it to their goals.

How does the partnership between OpenEd and Outschool work?

Families who have enrolled in the OpenEd program are able to use their allotted funds for approved educational expenses, including Outschool. If you’re not already an OpenEd family, visit their website to see if you live in a state with an OpenEd partnership.
