Common questions
Is Noeva like Outschool?+
No — they're very different. Outschool is a marketplace of live online classes taught by outside teachers, mostly in group format. Noeva is a family-only, AI-adaptive daily learning companion with no live classes, no outside teachers, and no group settings.
Which is safer for younger children?+
Both are considered safe, but the models differ. Outschool involves live video with vetted teachers and other children. Noeva has no chat, no video, no other children — it's a closed family-only environment. Parents who prefer no outside contact tend to choose Noeva.
How does pricing compare?+
Outschool charges per class, typically £8–£25 per session, so costs scale with usage. Noeva is a flat £85/month per family covering all children and all tools. For families doing more than a few sessions a month, Noeva usually works out cheaper.
Which is better for a full curriculum?+
Neither is a full replacement for school on its own, but Noeva is closer to a spine — a daily rhythm across eight pillars, ages 6–18. Outschool is best as an enrichment layer: individual courses on niche interests, taught live.
Can we combine them?+
Yes. A common pattern is Noeva as the daily rhythm and Outschool for a couple of live courses per term in areas the child wants to go deep on (drama, coding, chess, etc.).
The bottom line
Choose Outschool if you want live enrichment classes and social contact with other learners. Choose Noeva if you want a private, structured daily rhythm across the eight pillars your child needs by 18, with a proper parent portal. They pair well: Noeva as the daily spine, Outschool for occasional live deep-dives.
