Khan Academy

Khan Academy If you haven’t visited Khan Academy in a while, you’ll be amazed by how much they’ve expanded beyond just math. You can learn grammar, try the Hour of Code, practice ELA (English Language Arts) for grades 2 through 8, and even explore storytelling from Disney’s Imagineering in a Box class. Khan Academy is good for ages 4–adult. (Try the Khan Kids app for ages 2–7.)

BrainPOP

BrainPOP BrainPOP is a favorite with kids, with insightful videos on a huge range of topics (including social studies, English, math, and engineering), with related reading and quizzes to check comprehension. They always offer free sample videos, but right now are offering access for free to families with classes closed due to COVID-19. BrainPOP is good for ages 9-13 and BrainPOP, Jr. for ages 5-8.

Outschool

Outschool OK, so Outschool isn’t technically free, but with online video classes taught by real teachers as low as $5 a class, it’s worth checking out. Where else can you find lessons on learning the ukulele, playing a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, and discussing Diary of a Wimpy Kid all in the same place? (They’re also running a program for free classes for kids impacted by public school closures, pending enough donation support.) Outschool is good for ages 5–15.
