Start With Python in High School
Python’s easy-to-read syntax makes it a great programming language for beginners while also being one of the most popular languages for developers. For high school students, coding teaches fundamentals including functions, variables, data types, and data structures to give them a solid foundation for learning additional languages.Real World High School Coding Internship
After completing the program, students are invited to apply for our real world internship, where they work on a coding project for a nonprofit organization. It’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity to stand out on college applications.
Class Schedule
All students in the core track start in Intro to Python at Wizard Level I. If you have previous coding experience, take the Placement test. Returning students can continue with the class where they left off.

A Structured Curriculum That Focuses On Your Child’s Success
Each course in our high school core track builds on skills learned in previous courses so students truly master what they learn.
- Wizard Level I
Coding for high school students starts with Python. They learn coding fundamentals before learning to build their own websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Wizard Level II
Now that they have the basics down, high school students learn to build more interactive and complex websites and apps using APIs, Flask, and Bootstrap.
- Wizard Level III
Students take a deep dive into programming to learn how to make responsive and visually-appealing apps and websites.
Hear From Our Students
“I would never think of making what we make in CodeWizards on my own. But once you make them, it’s fun because the project is fun, but you still learn new techniques in coding,”
-- Charlie, CodeWizardsHQ High School Student
Hear From Our Students
“I really like the instructors. They’re really easy to get along with and they can be very helpful.”
-- Charles, CodeWizardsHQ High School Student
Hear From Our Students
“Once you understand the basics of the coding, you can just do anything from there. Like in HTML, there’s a lot of things you can do with the code, but once you just know how to type it, I think that’s easy and you can just keep coding.”
-- Ellie, CodeWizardsHQ Middle School Student

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:
- Animation and Games with Scratch for ages 8-10
- Intro to Programming with Python for ages 11-13
- Intro to Python for ages 14-18
What course should I start with in high school?
The first course in the high school core track is Intro to Python. Upon successful completion of the first course, students progress through our structured and progressive curriculum in the order that they are listed on the curriculum page. See the placement testing page if your student has significant coding experience and would like to start at a higher level in the program.
What coding language should high school students learn?
The first course in the high school core track is Intro to Python. Upon successful completion of the first course, students progress through our structured and progressive curriculum in the order that they are listed on the curriculum page. See the placement testing page if your student has significant coding experience and would like to start at a higher level in the program.
What if my student needs help between classes?
Unlike other coding classes, all students have access to a full suite of beyond-the-classroom benefits including class recordings, live homework help, and the student forum. We’re here to support your child’s learning when they need us. See beyond-the-classroom benefits.
Do high school courses have prerequisites?
The first course in the High School Core Track, Intro to Python, does not require any prior coding knowledge. The course is meant to give teens an introduction to coding and a foundation in Python language for the rest of the courses and the internship.
Each course after that requires completion of the courses before it. You can see the prerequisites for each high school course on the course details page.
What if my child misses a class?
It's easy to catch up. All class sessions are recorded. Recordings along with class slides are made available to the student shortly after the class is over. Students can review the recorded session and slides before the next class.
You also have a full suite of beyond-the-classroom benefits, everything your child needs to be successful (even if they miss a class). See full benefits.
