In this episode of Empowering Homeschool Conversations, host Peggy Ployhar welcomes Amir Nathoo, CEO and co-founder of Outschool, to explore how online learning is transforming the homeschool experience—especially for unique learners. Amir shares Outschool’s mission to spark curiosity and self-directed learning through innovative, interest-based live classes, and how the platform has become a powerful tool for families seeking flexible, personalized education. Drawing on new research, Amir and Peggy discuss the shift in parental expectations post-pandemic, the rise in homeschooling and microschooling, and why more families are turning to alternative models that prioritize safety, creativity, and real-world readiness. Whether you’re homeschooling a neurodiverse learner or just curious about the future of education, this conversation is packed with insight, encouragement, and possibilities.
