Who they are
Outschool is an online education platform headquartered in San Francisco, CA, founded in 2015. It operates as a marketplace connecting independent educators with learners globally through live, small-group online classes.
More about Outschool
The company is not a healthcare employer and does not operate hospitals, clinics, or any clinical care facilities. Outschool's workforce primarily consists of independent contractor educators who teach subjects ranging from academics to enrichment activities, along with corporate employees managing the platform's operations, technology, and business functions. The company has served over 1 million learners and processes more than $100M in annual bookings. For nursing professionals, this employer is not relevant to clinical nursing practice, though nurses with teaching credentials could potentially work as independent instructors on the platform in a non-clinical educational capacity.
Outschool's mission is to inspire kids to love learning. The organization values making learning fun, social, and self-directed, and aims to provide flexible, engaging learning experiences as a supplement or alternative to traditional education. The company emphasizes personal, dynamic, and deeply human learning through a global community of teachers and peers.
Working here
Culture and working life
What to consider
On Indeed, employees describe the work environment as 'relaxed and laid back' with 'nice and helpful' colleagues. One independent instructor reviewer noted that working remotely from home is a significant positive, and that interactions with students and families are overwhelmingly positive, with over 4,000 families following their classes globally. Another reviewer stated that as an independent teacher, they essentially create their own work culture. No nursing-specific reviews exist, as this is not a healthcare employer.
The good
- Remote work flexibility with the ability to work from home
- Relaxed and laid-back work environment
- Positive interactions with students and families globally
- Autonomy for independent contractors to build their own classes and culture
- Innovative, mission-driven education technology platform
The hard parts
- Not a healthcare employer — no clinical nursing roles, career advancement, or nursing-specific infrastructure
- Independent contractor status means no traditional employment benefits or job security for instructors
- Limited interaction with other teachers; community building is largely self-directed
The reality check
Before you decide
Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
