Coding Classes Made Just For Kids
Our elementary school coding program provides a full curriculum of online coding classes for kids ages 8-10. We teach a structured and progressive curriculum, but keep it fun and engaging with a game based approach to learning. Kids start coding with block based programming in Scratch and advance to text-based languages like HTML/CSS and JavaScript.

The CodeWizardsHQ Advantage
Our reviews speak for themselves.
Coding Curriculum for Elementary School
Coding for elementary school kids starts with block programming in Scratch. These classes focus on helping younger kids problem solve and strategize like a programmer before advancing to text based coding including HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and Python. They’ll explore a multitude of subjects ranging from basic computer science concepts, to animation, to decision making. By the end of the elementary school coding program, students will be able to go from playing games to coding games themselves.
Wizard Level I
These are fun and engaging classes that give hands-on experience to build foundational skills and begin our students’ passion for coding.
Wizard Level II
At this stage, students learn the most popular systems for web development so they can see their ideas come to life.
Class Schedule
All students start in Animation and Gaming in Scratch at Wizard Level I. If you have previous coding experience, take the Advanced Placement test. Returning students can continue with the class where they left off.
Questions? We Are Here to Help.
Easy answers to some common questions.

See full details on What Technology is Needed for Class.
What course should I start with in elementary school?
The first course is Animation and Games with Scratch in the core track. 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 core track.
I have a 10 year old, which program should I enroll?
Most 8-10 year old students should start with the Animation and Games with Scratch in the core track. If you’re 10, you may choose the middle school core track if you are confident about text-based programming and your typing speed is 25 wpm with 90% accuracy. After you complete the online enrollment, take a typing test then email a screenshot of your results to [email protected] to be placed in the middle school core track.
My child already knows Scratch. What do I do?
If your child has good prior coding experience in Scratch, then take a placement exam to skip to the next course in the core track.
We highly recommend that you review the full course curriculum and feel confident about knowing that material before taking the placement exam.
