-5% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Schooling has undergone some massive changes in recent years, with the needs of institutions and individuals changing quite radically. One company rising to meet these needs is Outschool, that operates an online platform for extracurricular classes.
Aimed at homeschooled students, Outschool saw a boom in business due to the pandemic in 2020, going on to achieve Unicorn status in 2021. Interestingly, though, it had already enjoyed swift growth and a place in Y Combinator years before lockdown began, and it has maintained an encouraging level of growth in the years since.
The hope of Outschool, and the tele-teaching sector at large, is that hybrid online/offline learning is here to stay - and interest in alternative education is certainly growing. With lucrative investment at its back, the company remains committed to empowering parents and students with a variety of flexible and personalized learning opportunities.
