About NovaEd

One Platform, Where A School Once Ran Six.

Before deciding whether to apply, it is worth understanding what NovaEd is, how it was built, and what it changes for a school.

An Education Technology Company, Built With Schools.

NovaEd was developed over eighteen months in collaboration with schools. With educators, admissions leaders and administrators, and informed by more than two decades of direct experience within schools. The work has been iterative and research-led, and it has been corrected more than once by the people who understand these environments best.

Most schools operate across five or six separate systems. Admissions in one, the student record in another, with curriculum, family communication and timetabling elsewhere again. Each was chosen sensibly. Together they create the gaps in which continuity and information are lost, and they consume hours that nobody planned to spend.

NovaEd consolidates that into one platform. One login, one record, one place in which the school runs.

Our approach is student-first, even where we do not work with students directly. Each capability is assessed against a single measure: whether it returns time and attention to teaching. When a school's operations become more efficient, the benefit is realised by educators, and by the students they teach.

Visibility Directory profile, institutional content, events and campaigns, so a school is found by the families already looking for it.
Admissions And Enrolment Enquiry through applicant review, assessment, offer, enrolment and re-enrolment, managed as one continuous pipeline.
Student 360 Performance, progress, benchmarking, cohort analysis and non-academic indicators, held in a single view of each student over time.
Family Engagement Connected portals, messaging, goals, reporting and activities, linking school, parent and student in the same conversation.
Leadership Evidence Enrolment and conversion reporting, demographics, retention and projection, for the decisions leadership has to defend.

The Eight Dimensions Of Student Understanding

Academic Profile Cognitive & Aptitude Personality & Temperament Social & Emotional Adaptability Motivation & Interests Learning Preferences Environment Fit Profile Pattern

NovaEd is modular by design. A school begins where the need is greatest and adds capability as it becomes useful, without adding another system, another login or another record.

Capability

Visibility And Marketing

The school's public profile and directory listing, built on its own institutional character, with integrated enquiry and application. Content studio, articles, events and campaigns, alongside website management and daily health monitoring.

Capability

Admissions And Enrolment

Enquiry, applicant review, admissions assessment, offer, enrolment, class placement and re-enrolment tracking, managed as one pipeline with clear ownership and status at every stage.

Capability

Curriculum And Timetabling

Curriculum held on the platform across the four IB programmes, Early Years Foundation Stage, the National Curriculum of England, IGCSE, A Level, US Common Core, AP, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and a school's own framework. Intelligent timetabling allocates rooms, calculates teacher contact time and respects contract hours.

Capability

Engagement And Pastoral Care

Connected portals for teachers, administrators, parents and students. Homework assignment and tracking, goal setting, attendance, in-app messaging, documents and policies, portfolios, incident reporting, and after-school activity programmes.

Capability

Student 360 And Assessment

A holistic view of each student, with reporting by student, division and whole school. Benchmarking across English proficiency, mathematics, science and other subjects, and the eight dimensions of student understanding that extend insight beyond academic results.

Families

Family Assessment And Companion

A guided student understanding assessment that families subscribe to directly, with school-fit insight written in plain language. Parent and student companions support development, reflection and the educational journey alongside the school.

Three audiences, each with a distinct requirement. Recognising which one you are speaking with shapes the entire conversation.

Audience

School Leadership

Fragmented operational signals become understanding that leadership can act on: stronger fit, smoother enrolment and deeper institutional insight.

The need typically becomes urgent when enquiries are lost between systems, when the school's public presence is working against admissions, or when a straightforward question about the pipeline cannot be answered quickly.

Audience

Teachers And Administrators

The people who carry the cost of disconnected systems, in hours, duplicated entry and reconciliation between platforms that were never designed to work together.

Consolidation returns that time, which is the outcome the platform exists to produce.

Audience

Families And Advisors

Families want to understand their child beyond a grade average, and to choose a school where that child will grow. Advisors want an evidence-informed picture that makes their guidance easier to trust.

The eight dimensions give both a shared, plain-language reference.

A note on how we position ourselves. NovaEd does not compare itself to other platforms and does not name them. Our conversations begin with the obstacle a school is already living with, and move to what a single connected system changes. Partners are asked to represent NovaEd the same way.

The Appointment

How An Appointment Is Made.

We appoint a limited number of partners in each city and support each one properly. The process usually takes about two weeks. Not every applicant is appointed, and not everyone who reaches the final stage is either. We would rather be clear about that at the outset.

You Apply

The form below asks about your market, the schools you can reach, and how you would approach your first ten conversations. Everything needed to form a view is publicly available at novaed.cn. We are interested in your judgement rather than your existing knowledge of us.

We Review

Every application is read and assessed against the same criteria. Where your market is one we are opening and your approach is sound, we aim to respond within a week to arrange an introductory conversation.

You Receive The Full Picture

Shortlisted candidates receive the complete materials, current pricing, working demonstration environments and a briefing with our team. There is no obligation on either side at this stage.

You Present It Back

A week later you present how you would position NovaEd to a school in your market. This is the most informative stage for both parties. It shows us how you would represent the platform, and it shows you whether the work suits you.

A Decision Is Made, Both Ways

We decide whether to appoint, and you decide whether to accept. Appointments per city are limited, so a strong candidate may still be declined simply because the market is already covered. Where the answer is no, we will say so directly rather than leave it unanswered.

Where the answer is yes, your market is confirmed, the representation agreement is signed, and you receive a NovaEd email address and the full materials.

Engagement And Remuneration

Structured To Reward Depth, Not Volume.

  • An independent appointment. You are appointed as an independent contractor rather than an employee. You invoice NovaEd and remain responsible for your own tax and statutory obligations.
  • Performance-based and uncapped. Remuneration follows the partnerships you establish across the platform, with no ceiling applied and no reduction for strong performance.
  • A recurring base over time. A continuing share applies while a school remains with NovaEd and you remain actively engaged with the account, in line with your agreement.
  • Paid monthly against invoice, on funds received and cleared by NovaEd.
  • Non-exclusive in both directions. NovaEd works directly in every market, and you remain free to represent other lines that do not compete with ours.

What NovaEd Provides

  • Complete materials, presentations and product documentation in English and Chinese
  • Published pricing, so terms are never negotiated in isolation
  • Live demonstration environments across the platform
  • Structured product training and an ongoing resource library
  • A NovaEd email address, so schools engage with the company rather than an individual
  • Senior representation from our team in the meetings where it adds value

What We Ask In Return

  • Represent NovaEd using the approved materials
  • Work to published pricing
  • Record schools and conversations in our system so nothing is lost
  • Share what you learn. What a school declines is as instructive as what it adopts

Rates, payment terms, territory and duration are confirmed in the written representation agreement, which governs the arrangement. See the programme terms.

Fit

Experience We Value

  • An established understanding of international, bilingual and private schools in your market, or credible access to them
  • Experience in school admissions or marketing, education consultancy, education agency management, EdTech, curriculum or publishing, or comparable work with school leadership
  • Credibility with senior decision makers, and the ability to hold a substantive conversation about institutional challenges
  • The capacity to work independently and sustain a longer horizon
  • Professional proficiency in English, and in the principal language of your market

Important Information

This is an independent contractor appointment, not an employed position. There is no base salary and no benefits package, and NovaEd does not operate a payroll in your country of residence.

Schools purchase on institutional budget cycles. The early period of any appointment is therefore focused on relationship development rather than immediate revenue. Candidates who require a guaranteed monthly income are encouraged to consider this carefully before applying.

Appointments per market are limited and are reviewed annually. NovaEd also works directly in every market, and where you have introduced or worked an account you are remunerated in line with your agreement regardless of who concludes it.

Applying creates no obligation on either side, and nothing on this page constitutes an offer of employment or a guarantee of appointment. Please read the programme terms and privacy notice before applying.

Application

Apply For An Appointment.

This takes about fifteen minutes if you have looked at novaed.cn first. The last question is the one we read most carefully.

First, A Little About You

Brief to complete. The questions requiring more consideration come later.

We would like to know who we are talking to.
Where we will reply. That does not look like a working email address.
Optional, but it usually speeds things up.
LinkedIn, your company site, anything you would point us to.

Where You Would Be Working

We appoint by city, so it is useful to know precisely where you would be working.

Please choose a country.
If you could cover more than one, name the one you know best. Please tell us the city.
Please pick at least one, and name any others.

How You Work

Partners are appointed as independent contractors, so it is useful to understand how you are currently structured.

Please choose the closest option.
Remuneration is paid against an invoice rather than through a payroll. If that arrangement is new to you, please say so. It is not an obstacle. Please choose the closest option.
Please pick at least one, and tell us if it is something else.

A Little About Your Experience

This tells us about your access to schools in your market, and your credibility once you are in the room.

Name them where you can, and describe how you came to know them. If you would be starting from introductions rather than established relationships, please say so. An accurate picture is more useful to us than an optimistic one.

How You Would Approach It

This is the response we review most closely, so it is worth a few minutes of your time.

Which schools you would approach first and why, which NovaEd capabilities you would lead with in your market, and what you believe schools in your city are contending with at present. Written in your own words. We are reading for judgement rather than polish.

Three short questions and you are done.

Please confirm this so we can keep your application.

Every application is read. We aim to reply within a week to applicants in the markets we are currently opening, whether the answer is yes or no.

Application Received.

Thank you. Your application is with our team. If your market is one we are opening, we aim to be in touch within a week to arrange an introductory call. In the meantime, novaed.cn is the best place to get to know the range.
