Getting started
Do I need teaching experience?
No — and that's the point. Every lesson comes with a parent guide: what to say, what understanding looks like, what to try if it's tricky. You bring the time together; Nolia brings the structure.
Is Nolia a curriculum or a planner?
Both halves of the job: it plans your week from real curricula (ACARA, KMK, Common Core + NGSS) with hand-curated lessons for each task. You don't need to buy or map anything else for the subjects Nolia covers.
Can I try it without signing up?
Yes. The demo opens a real family's week — no account, no email. It expires on its own after 60 minutes, and nothing you do in it is kept.
How long does setup take?
Creating a family and your first child takes a few minutes; the optional placement check runs at your child's pace. Most families see their first planned week the same day. -->
Learning & curriculum
My kids are 4 and 9 — does that work?
That's Nolia's home turf. Each child gets their own level and their own plan, and you guide each at the right depth. One account covers the whole family.
Can my child learn two curricula at once — in two languages?
Yes — this is what Nolia was built for. German curriculum lessons arrive in German, Australian ones in English, in the same week, each tagged with its flag. Siblings can even learn in different languages.
What about Montessori or Waldorf?
Method overlays for Montessori and Waldorf are on the way — we'll announce them here as they land. Today Nolia covers the state curricula (ACARA, KMK, Common Core + NGSS) in full.
What if we fall behind?
You won't hear that word from us. If something needs more time, Nolia schedules gentle catch-up and consolidation — clearly labelled, never red, never shaming. The plan bends to your life, not the other way round.
Evidence & registration
What do I show the department for homeschool registration?
Nolia exports a curriculum-mapped portfolio PDF and an annual report built from what your child actually did — dated, structured, and matched to your curriculum's areas. Your weekly plans document the plan itself. -->
Does Nolia replace school reports?
The annual report is an evidence-based summary of the school year (calendar year in AU, Aug–Jul in Germany) — families use it where a report card would sit. Whether it's formally accepted depends on your state's process. We keep it honest: it shows what was learned, with receipts.
What if we go back to school one day?
Then Nolia hands you the paperwork for that conversation: a learning record any teacher can read, subject by subject, plus an annual report for the file. Re-entry becomes a step, not a leap. Some families keep a lighter Nolia plan running alongside school; others just leave with the records — both are fine with us.
Travel & offline
We're doing the Big Lap — what happens without reception?
Download the week and keep learning: plan, lessons and materials work offline, results sync when you're back in range. Travel mode also prefers materials you can actually get out there — no printer required.
Which devices?
Any modern browser, installable as an app (PWA), plus an iOS app. One family account, everyone's devices. -->
Privacy & pricing
What do you do with my child's data?
As little as technically possible. Names and photos are field-encrypted, deletion is real (crypto-shredding), and analytics never contain child data. The full picture:
How we protect your family.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. Free covers one child with full weekly plans and the learning record — no card needed. Family and Pro add more children and more depth.
