How It Works
What our students are saying
-
“LOVE LOVE LOVE. I’ve taken a lot of online courses over the years and [this] blows them all away—in design, teachers, production, content, and facilitating learning.”
-
“I never thought I'd like an online class this much. I never expected to be so engaged, so thoroughly interested in everything I was learning, and to be excited about doing an online class.”
-
“The staff was amazing! Not only knowledgeable but very friendly and super supportive. I felt the same level of rapport with them as though I was attending physical classes and seeing each of them every day.”
Frequently Asked Questions

Every Outlier course is 100% online. Forget the boring Zoom lectures you might think of. Instead, imagine an immersive experience that combines cinematic lectures (think: movie theater) with interactive learning tools (think: online game). All taught by charismatic, approachable instructors we hand-picked from top universities across the country.
The results speak for themselves. Students pass our classes at the same rates as in-person classes. And many outperform the AP national average!
