Questions, Answered

The Curriculum

What curriculum do you teach?
An original K-13 curriculum we authored ourselves. We studied the world’s strongest curricula, took the strongest aspects of each, and built our own from Year 1 through Year 13. From Year 10, the curriculum deepens to prepare learners for Cambridge IGCSE, AS, A-Level, and IB Diploma exams.
How many subjects?
Seven subjects from Year 1 through Year 9: Mathematics, English, Science, Money Studies, Technology Studies, World Studies, Creative Studies. From Year 10, Science splits into Biology, Chemistry, and Physics — taking the count to ten.
Is the curriculum aligned to a specific national system?
From Year 10, we align with Cambridge IGCSE, AS, A-Level, and IB Diploma SL and HL. Below Year 10, the curriculum is original and globally calibrated, not pinned to any single national system. Families regularly use Nyenzo alongside national curricula in dozens of countries.
Can my child join mid-year?
Yes. Whatever week your child joins, the calendar picks them up where they are. The curriculum runs on a continuous 52-week cycle — there’s no catch-up panic.

How It Works

How much time per day should my child spend on Nyenzo?
A full plan runs about two to three hours of focused work for younger learners, three to four for senior-school learners. You decide pacing — many families work through Cores in the morning and Studies in the afternoon.
Do my younger children need my help?
Yes — Years 1–3 are designed as family years. We keep the content short and structured for sitting together because younger children aren't ready to navigate lessons and exams independently. Plan to sit beside your child during their daily session for those first three years. From Year 4 onward, they can work more independently.
Are the exams really marked by AI?
Yes — including full open-ended written answers, not just multiple choice. Our AI marker reads reasoning and grades mark by mark. If a learner thinks a question was marked unfairly, they can request a remark, and the AI re-evaluates with a fresh pass.
What if my child gets stuck on something?
Miss Edna, our AI teacher, walks through any concept on demand. After exams, she explains exactly what worked, what didn’t, and how to improve, mark by mark. The next week’s lessons adapt to focus on weak areas.
How do you prevent cheating?
Our integrity monitor watches the exam window and produces a Focus Score that you see on the parent dashboard. Tab-switching and time-off-task show up clearly. The leaderboard counts official first-attempt scores only — practice scores never feed it — so the system rewards genuine performance, not retake farming.

For Parents

How many children can I add?
Up to four learners per subscription. Each child gets their own profile, their own subject mix, their own progress, and their own slot on your dashboard.
What does the parent dashboard show?
Average score (vs target and class), confidence (your child’s self-rating against weekly objectives), exams taken vs scheduled, focus score during exams, average time per exam, and class/regional/global ranking. Plus subject-by-subject mastery, exam history, and a 52-week roadmap.
Can I set goals for my child?
Yes. Five goal types are live: weekly exam average, high score on a specific exam, term-end percentile rank, typing speed, and weekly resource completion. Both you and your child get notified when goals are achieved.

Privacy & Children's Data

Is my child's data safe?
Yes. Your child's account is gated behind a parent account — they don't sign up, you do. Their learning history is encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold to third parties, and never used to train external AI models. We follow COPPA-style requirements for handling children's data: parent-mediated account creation, minimal data collection, no advertising, and a single visible Partner-in-Learning email address that you control. See our full Privacy Policy at /privacy.
What does Nyenzo collect about my child?
Their nickname (not their full name, unless you provide it), their year level, their curriculum, what they've worked on, and their exam attempts and scores. We don't collect contact information for your child — all email goes to you. We don't ask for school name, phone number, or address; if you choose to add country and region for the city-based Co-op Network, that's optional and editable from settings.
Do you show my child ads?
No. There is no advertising in Nyenzo. There are no third-party trackers in the learner-facing app. The only third-party services we use on the learner side are payment processing (handled at the parent layer) and our own analytics for product improvement.
Can I delete my child's data?
Yes. From your account settings you can delete any learner profile, which removes their attempts, progress, and identifiers from our active database. For full account deletion including the parent account, email central@nyenzo.com and we'll process within 30 days. Backups age out within 35 days.
Who can see my child's work besides me?
Only Nyenzo's marking and integrity systems, plus anyone you explicitly invite as a Partner in Learning (one email address you choose — typically a grandparent, aunt, or tutor). The Partner sees a read-only digest of completions and exam results; they cannot log in, see other children, or access your account. You can change or remove the Partner from settings any time.
