What course should my middle school student start with?
The first course of the Middle School Core track is Intro to Programming with Python.
In this course, students build a solid foundation in programming using Python, a powerful yet beginner-friendly coding language for kids to learn coding. They’ll learn to work with variables, data types, lists, loops, conditional logic, and functions by building games and programs. Upon successful completion, students progress through our structured curriculum and integrate programming in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
My child 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 Course 1, 2, and 3.
Middle School Core Track
Class 1: Intro to Programming with Python
Class 2: Beyond Basics with Python
Class 3: Webpages with HTML & CSS
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 do you teach middle school students coding?
Middle school students, ages 11-13, start with Intro to Programming with Python
Students kickstart their coding journey with Python, one of the most popular languages for developers. As they grasp coding fundamentals using Python they transition into learning other essential languages such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Students will also learn how to integrate databases and APIs into their projects to build robust, feature-rich applications like those we use today.
What if my student needs help between classes?
We never leave students hanging! They can seek help 24/7 via our valuable and complimentary beyond-the-classroom support and get help during and between classes when they need us.
Unlike other coding classes, students have access to a full suite of beyond-the-classroom benefits, including daily homework help, 24/7 access to proprietary coding platform, video recordings of every class, downloadable slides for every class, and supportive online student community.
See all beyond-the-classroom benefits.
I have a 13-year-old, which program should I enroll?
Most 13-year-old students should start with the Intro to Programming with Python in the middle school core track. They may choose the high school core track if they feel comfortable learning at a slightly faster pace.
After you complete the online enrollment, have your child take a typing test then email a screenshot of your results to school@codewizardshq.com to be placed in the high school core track.
