Disney is one of the most recognizable names in the world. From Mickey Mouse to Cinderella, Disney characters have a place in every child’s heart.
Now, you can create magical memories with your kids by signing up for Outschool classes that teach them about everything from Disney history to designing their very own Walt Disney World park!
This blog post will walk you through what these online courses are, how they work, and which ones are perfect for both children and parents alike.
What is Outschool?
Outschool is a company that provides education for children online. They have courses specifically designed to make learning more engaging and fun!
How do the courses work?
There are a few different types of Outschool courses including flex, live meetings, and one-time meeting options.
In a flexible schedule course there are no scheduled video chats – the teacher and students interact through written messages and pre-recorded videos. This format is great if your child prefers to learn independently, or is uncomfortable with live video chat.
In a one-time class the teacher and students meet live once in a video chat session. These are great for exploring new interests and discovering whether a teacher’s style works well for your little learner before committing to a longer course.
