Curriculum
Flexible, Interactive, Simple
What Our Curriculum Provides?
Basic Coding Skills
Students will learn the basics of Java or Scratch depending on their age. This will be enough for them to start coding independently.
Progression
Our curriculum is a long term program meaning students can continuously progress and learn more about programming.
Hands On Learning
Most of our curriculum involves the kids collaborating and coding instead of the teacher talking all the time.
Flexbility
We can change our curriculum to fit your needs. Contact us using the form below and we can begin helping you.
Credibility
Our curriculum is created by a large team of passionate Computer Scientists attending Singapore American School.
Project Based
Throughout the curriculum, students will create their own projects and leave the program with cool end products.
