Who Noeo Science is for (and who it isn’t)
Best for
- Charlotte Mason, classical and unit-study families who want living books
- Busy parents who want everything scheduled and supplied
- Siblings close in age who can share a level

What parents say about Noeo Science
A summary of public parent feedback we read on forums, app stores and review sites. It is not a set of Edulist family reviews.
Reviewers praise Noeo for pairing living books with hands-on kits, with Cathy Duffy calling it one of the best jobs yet at that combination and naming it a Top Pick. The cautions are heavy parent involvement at Level 1, a narrower topic list per course, and secular books that some Christian families want to discuss.
Common praise
- Living books plus hands-on work instead of a textbook
- Everything supplied and scheduled
- Builds a strong home science library
Common complaints
- Level 1 needs considerable parent time
- Each course covers a small number of topics
- No Biology 3 course

Questions
Is Noeo Science Christian or secular?
The regular editions' instructor's guides take a Christian perspective, with occasional scripture. The living books themselves are secular. Charter editions remove the Christian content and cost the same.
Can I return Noeo if it doesn't work for us?
Yes. Noeo's 60-day All Yours Guarantee lets you use the box and still return it for a full refund.
