Questions related to Classes at Code With Us

How do I decide the right topic and level for my student?

We begin with evaluating students’ prior experience and projects they’re interested in during the first class. After our initial assessment, we recommend topics and levels that match their objectives and keep them interested in learning. Assigning students at the right level is important for their long-term success. As we progress with classes, based on a student’s learning pace and ability, we realign our lesson plans.

How do I stay up to date with a student’s progress?

Our teachers send regular class updates to parents. We have a proprietary Learning Management portal where parents can log in to view student progress, review projects, check billing and schedule, and communicate with teachers.

Yes! You can access all the assignments and projects in the student portal. Everything is hosted in the cloud so students can access from anywhere.

Our in-person classes are scheduled, students meet with their teacher at a recurring time each week. When a student arrives in the classroom, he/she is allocated a computer to work on the project.
