Outschool is designed so that a parent is the primary account holder. At this time, your Outschool account can only be attached to a single email address, so it should be set up with the email address of the person who will be purchasing Outschool classes. Learners then access classes through the parent account.
Parents can set preferences for each of their learners under the umbrella of the parent account. Learner settings can be added or edited from your account Settings page, under Account & Profile> Learner Account Settings > View Learner Profiles.
Learner profiles include:

-You can also choose an avatar that will appear next to the learner's name in messages or classroom comments.

For learners to receive email notifications of @-mentions on the Outschool classroom, a valid email address must be listed within their learner settings.
Any information under “Information for Outschool” is private and only visible to our support team. Teachers will not see your learner’s birthday or email.
The public information included in your learner’s settings is shown to teachers in their view of enrolled learners, along with any previous classes your learner has taken with them. See the teacher's view below:
