Outschool is an approved vendor for many organizations and supports payments via Purchase Orders (POs) or Organization admin accounts.

Enrollment Options

Option 1: Purchase Orders (POs)

POs allow organizations to request enrollments directly through Outschool’s support team.

Important Notes About PO Enrollments

All PO enrollments are processed manually by the Outschool Support team.
Class placement depends on availability at the time the PO is received. Availability cannot be guaranteed, even if the family saw an open spot earlier.

How Families Submit PO Requests to Their Organization

Families should provide their organization with:

Class name
Section day and time
Class listing link
Email associated with their Outschool account
Learner’s name and age
Backup class time (recommended)

Billing:

Invoices for Purchase Order enrollments are sent the Monday after the section begins, except ongoing and 1:1 tutoring classes, which are billed after the final bulk-enrolled week.

Option 2: Organization Admin Accounts

An Organization admin account allows you to enroll families directly in real time using your organization’s credit card or a PO-funded Outschool wallet.

Key Benefits of Organization Admin Accounts
