Prestigious International Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Educational Technology Products and Companies
SAN FRANCISCO – June 4, 2025 – Leading online education platform Outschool, today announced that it is has been selected as winner of the “Online Education Solution of the Year” award in the 7th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.
Outschool’s breakthrough education platform offers a variety of engaging, small-group online classes as well as one-on-one tutoring led by real teachers. Unlike traditional classes, Outschool classes allow students ages three to 18 to explore their interests in-depth via interactive, live video by experienced, independent educators. Designed for families looking for supplementary education and enrichment opportunities, it also works for homeschoolers.
Outschool fosters creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving, helping children learn how to think, not just “what to know.” The platform is parent-led, learner-driven, and fully flexible, adapting education to each individual learner. The small, live classes cover thousands of subjects and are led by an average 5:1 student-teacher ratio. From core academics to enrichment, all classes are also supported by Outschool’s concierge service.
“Outschool goes beyond academics to teach creativity, collaboration, and resilience - skills kids will use forever. Education is changing, and families deserve better options. The one-size-fits-all of the current traditional academic education system doesn't encourage children to explore their passions, develop real-world skills, and build confidence,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. “Outschool offers a better way to prepare kids for an unpredictable world that demands creativity, adaptability, and real-world skills. By making it easy for families to design an education as unique as their child, Outschool goes beyond mere academics. We’re pleased to single them out with the ‘Online Education Solution of the Year!’”
The mission of the EdTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a range of educational technology categories, including Student Engagement, School Administration, Adaptive Learning, STEM Education, Remote Learning, Career Preparation and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world.
“At Outschool, we put parents in control with a global platform of live, interactive classes and personalized tutoring that adapts to every learner’s passions, strengths, and future ambitions." said Amir Nathoo, CEO of Outschool. “We’re pleased to accept this recognition from EdTech Breakthrough. We’ll continue to expand access to families and worldwide team of passionate educators to create a truly inclusive and enriching experience. With thousands of choices, kids can focus on what they love most, develop skills, and build friendships with kids who like the same things.”
