Questions? We Are Here to Help.

Easy answers to some common questions.

My child has no coding experience. Is it ok?

Yes! Our classes are designed so that no prior experience is necessary.

Classes are beginner-friendly. Simply start with the first class in the program for your child’s age:

What course should my high school student start with?

The first course of the High School Core track is Intro to Python.

In this course, students learn fundamental programming concepts while building fun, interactive projects in Python. They’re introduced to concepts such as functions, conditional statements, variables, data types, and loops while building practical games and apps. Upon successful completion, students progress through our structured curriculum and integrate programming in Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

How do you teach high school students coding?

High school students, ages 14 to 18, start in Intro to Python.

Students begin with a fun and interactive introduction to foundational programming concepts in Python. As teens master the Python language, they transition into other real-world languages such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, obtaining the skills to build interactive websites and apps. Upon program completion, students can apply for a unique real-world coding internship, an unparalleled opportunity to stand out on college applications.

My high school student already knows Python. What do I do?

Our structured curriculum is designed to start with the first course. However, students may test out of Wizard Level I Courses 1, 2, and 3.

High School Core Track 

Course 1: Intro to Python

Course 2: Fundamentals of Web Development

Course 3: User Interface Development

If your child is confident about the material in that class, take a placement exam to skip to the next course in the core track.

How does my student become eligible for the Internship Program?

The High School Coding Internship is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for students who have completed the High School Core Track. It offers valuable real-world experience, giving students a head start down their chosen career path. To be eligible, students must:


  • Complete all courses in the High School Core Track

  • Fill out the application for the Internship program

  • Commit three to six hours a week for approximately three months
