All our code camps and code courses are based on internationally recognised course structures  They have been adapted to suit the learning level and time specifications of our training curriculum and are constantly tailored to meet the ever changing needs, technologies and trends in the sector.

If your child can read and is in year 1, then no they are not too young. As when learning a new language or new skill, the earlier the better! Most of our code camps, courses and activities have been carefully designed for kids between the ages of six and sixteen and further reflect the capabilities of children enrolled. All of our courses are fun, engaging and interactive. We place a strong importance on personal achievement and growth so we keep our classes at a size that will allow us to maintain a close one-on-one relationship with each student.

We have a number of different code camps courses for children in different age group and with different levels of experience. Code Camp courses are designed to cater to beginner students of all age groups.

With respect to our code courses: If your child is a Y1-Y4 student and is confident with reading then we recommend our Beginner Code Course. Our Intermediate Code Course is for Y3-Y8 students who are already familiar with the basics of coding, logic and programming concept. High school students (Y7-Y12) and are confident with their computers are recommended for the advanced or pro courses we offer. We individually track progress of each student, and always recommend when a child should move onto the next course level.

Children should bring their lunch, their own computer/tablet (if possible), and pens and paper. We can provide students with computers however it is recommended your child bring their own device – Can be either Windows, Apple or Android laptops or tablet. If the BYOD device is insufficient your child will be assigned a computer. Parents please ensure your child has been given lunch and a drink for their break. There is water available in the training room. Please also note that Code School is Nuts Free.

Children who learn to code are provided with a strategical and logical way of thinking about the world around them. Whether it’s understanding how complex systems such as economies work or making every day decisions, programming teaches children not only how to solve problems, but also how to express themselves. We are now living in a digital landscape where there is a strong emphasis on the importance of digital technology. Children that learn programming, will give themselves the best opportunity for cognitive growth, personal development and future career paths.
