How Our Elementary School Coding Program Works
Kids start their coding journey with Scratch, a simple drag-and-drop block-based coding language designed to teach kids how to code. Elementary students will learn coding fundamentals while crafting fun games that encourage them to keep learning. As they master Scratch they will transition from block-based coding to text-based languages like Python, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS.
Once they complete all Wizard Levels, they will obtain the skills to code games, websites, and more.

What course should my elementary school student start with?
The first course of the Elementary School Core track is Animation and Games with Scratch.
In this course, elementary students learn fundamental coding concepts using Scratch’s block programming interface. Block coding is ideal for younger students to explore coding in a visually engaging way and without worrying about difficult syntax or their computing skills.
Upon successful completion, students progress through our structured curriculum and advance to text-based programming in Python and JavaScript.
My child already knows Scratch. 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 and 2.
Elementary School Core Track
Class 1: Animation and Games with Scratch
Class 2: Logic with Scratch
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 elementary students coding?
Elementary school students, ages 8-10, start with Animation and Games with Scratch.
They learn coding fundamentals while crafting fun programs and games in Scratch, a drag-and-drop coding language designed to teach kids how to code. As they master Scratch, they will transition from block-based coding to text-based languages like Python, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS. Once they complete all Wizard Levels, they will obtain the skills to code games, websites, and more.
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 10-year-old, which program should I enroll?
10-year-old students should start with the Animation and Games with Scratch in the elementary school core track. They may choose the middle school core track if they’re confident about text-based programming and have a typing speed of 25 wpm with 90% accuracy.
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 middle school core track.
