12 core classes + optional labs

Current program

Scratch begins with a weekly core class and optional project support.

Core classes introduce programming ideas through guided projects. Optional 30-minute labs give students additional time to ask questions, debug, and continue project work.

Coding programs

Scratch Coding Level 1 for two age-based tracks.

Junior and Senior Tracks

Beginner-friendly visual programming that develops logic, creativity, and debugging through projects students can build, test, and explain.

Good fit

No prior coding experience is required. Students join the age-based track that best matches their pace, interests, and readiness.

Learning focus

Events, loops, conditionals, variables, project planning, testing, and explaining how a program works.

Junior Track · Ages 7–9

Learn coding through games, animations, and storytelling while completing one guided creative project each week.

Senior Track · Ages 10–13

Build games while learning foundational programming concepts, with additional coding challenges and more independent creative projects.

Schedule options

Junior Track

Begins August 18. Core class: Tuesdays, 4:30–5:20 PM. Optional project lab: Thursdays, 4:30–5:00 PM.

C++

Future pathway

C++ Foundations

A future text-based programming option focused on careful syntax, step-by-step logic, and debugging.

Good fit

May be appropriate for students who can type comfortably, follow multi-step instructions, and work carefully through errors.

Learning focus

Possible topics include variables, conditionals, loops, functions, arrays, debugging habits, and clear problem decomposition.

  • Precise syntax and logic
  • Loops, functions, and arrays
  • Small algorithmic challenges

Coding approach

Habits students build through coding.

Break down problems

Students learn to turn a goal into smaller steps, then test each step instead of guessing.

Debug with patience

Students practice checking assumptions, finding problems, and improving code calmly.

Build small projects

Short projects help students see how ideas become working programs they can explain.

Explain their thinking

Students practice describing why code works, where it failed, and how they improved it.
