HOW DO PRIVATE CLASSES WORK?

Student taking a private online class

CLASS SCHEDULE

  • You will meet with your private instructor once a week for a 50-minute class.
  • This is a continuous program with a 6-8 week billing cycle, no need to re-register every session and your instructor, day, and time are always reserved. Billing cycles will follow our Coder’s Ladder billing calendar.

INSTRUCTOR CHOICES

  • You will have an option to select any of the instructors assigned to teach the class of your choice. You can pre-filter the schedule (registration table below) by instructor to see the times when they are available to teach private classes.

PROGRAM CHOICES

  • You can choose a Coder’s Ladder® class or a specialty Coder’s Pathways® class
  • Coder’s Ladder® classes are offered by Coder’s Ladder Level. If you are an experienced student, your private instructor will review your latest score card and continue your education from there.
  • Coder’s Pathways® classes are offered by pathway (not by an individual course within a pathway). Beginners will start with the first course in the pathway. Experienced students will continue working on the pathway where they left off, with the next course in the pathway sequence. Your instructor will work with you through a quick review of what you have already learned and then continue with new material.

Level 1 Course Info

Level 1 Course Info

Level 1 of the Coder’s Ladder® is the entry point for Elementary School age students 8 to 11 years old. It is designed for beginner students new to coding or students with prior coding experience who need a more structured program to strengthen their understanding and skill application of fundamental programming concepts.

The focus of Level 1 is to teach students the core Computer Science concepts. Students apply these concepts by building games and projects using the drag and drop environment, Scratch. Level 1 gets students passionate about coding as they experience coding as creative, fun, and doable!

The Level 1 curriculum teaches coding as a sequence of instructions, core programming concepts (such as Variables, Loops, Conditionals, and Functions), and basic game development concepts (such as Key-based Controls and Event Handling). Students build various projects, including thrilling maze games, interactive arcade games (such as a car racing game), art and animated stories, and quiz programs. In addition, students learn problem-solving and practice design, testing, and debugging skills.

Level 1 graduates are familiar with programming terms and confident in their understanding of fundamental coding concepts. Most importantly, students can independently build simple games and projects using the online platform, Scratch.
