Nova Academy covers Kindergarten through 5th grade with age-appropriate content for each level. The curriculum includes Number Sense, Geometry, Word Problems, Algebraic Thinking, and more.
Do students need their own devices?
Nova works on any device with a web browser — Chromebooks, iPads, laptops, or desktops. For individual practice, each student needs access to a device. For math circles, you can project problems and work together as a class.
How is this different from Khan Academy or IXL?
Nova focuses on enrichment, not remediation. Instead of drill practice, we offer non-routine problems, logic puzzles, and multi-step word problems based on Russian Math methodology. Our AI provides insights into student thinking, not just correctness.
Is the pilot really free?
Yes, completely free during the 2024-25 school year. We're looking for partner schools to help us build the best possible product for educators. In exchange for your feedback, you get full access at no cost.
What data do you collect from students?
We collect only what's needed to personalize learning: name, grade level, and problem responses. We never sell data or show ads. Our full privacy policy is available, and we comply with FERPA and COPPA requirements.
