About Us
Hey!
How nice that you found us. We are pleased with all our hearts that with the Free German Online School we can provide you with a place where your children grow, thrive and are challenged and supported according to their inclinations and talents; - anywhere in the world: free and independent of location! We don't want to give our children broad, superficial general knowledge, but rather strengthen their personality and with it important skills such as self-confidence, courage and teamwork.
Nice that you are here!
vision
We don't want to give students answers to questions they've never asked, but rather encourage and support them to ask their own questions with curiosity, to organize the answers themselves and to treat all the answers they find with respect and interest. Holistic learning with all the senses is particularly important.
This is designed using a mix of digital media, but notebooks and work materials are also used. We also integrate project-oriented lessons and elements of a holistic learning concept, as well as a weekly learning office.

Our Why
- History of origin -
mission
We are Nils & Lisa – founders of the Free German Online School
As a family with three children, we embarked on a world tour – and we're still on the move today. Our experiences while traveling, in education, and in life itself inspired us to found a school that reimagines learning: free, collaborative, and location-independent.
Lisa brings 20 years of experience as a social worker and has been a passionate yoga teacher and artist for over a decade. Nils taught at German and international schools for 20 years and knows exactly which digital tools bring modern online teaching to life.
With extensive expertise in free learning, unschooling, and progressive pedagogical approaches, we are creating an online school where children can learn independently, creatively, and with joy. Because we are convinced that even without traditional school and classroom instruction, you can learn wonderfully—perhaps even better!
What drives us:
Learning in community. Research, discovery, and wonder—it's simply more fun together. And it works online, too! Our own children show us every day how lively and effective free learning can be. Passing on this knowledge is our mission—and our greatest motivation.
Online Congress
Interview with Lisa & Nils
At the major online event for educational diversity 2024, "Find Your Educational Landscape 2.0," we were interviewed by Tobi, the founder of Family-Passioneers, about our school, our life as a traveling family, our vision of learning, and many other exciting topics. It was such a valuable conversation!
The result is almost 45 minutes of enriching interview time, which we don't want to withhold from you. Enjoy!
