Emphasis of coding logic over syntax. Coding logic is fundamental to every coding language and are relevant regardless of coding language. This helps us to make sure that what we are teaching our students remains relevant for them in the future. We cannot predict which coding language will gain widespread acceptance when our students grow up, but we can make sure they have the foundations to learn quickly.
Coding logic flexes the mind and develops cognitive and problem-solving skills. Just like being able to write a convincing and moving essay, it is the content and ideas within that is crucial, not the nuances of syntax.
Taking the extra step to maximize cognitive development to help our students excel in academics. You may have read that learning to code has many benefits. We whole-heatedly agree. We see a unique opportunity to provide a environment for our students to learn critical cognitive skills which has far reaching implications for academics and problem solving abilities. Thus, we take an additional step to to develop our student's cognitive abilities in the follow areas:
Spatial Thinking - This is the reason of adopting the Lego Robotics platform in most of our courses. Being able to conceptualize a design and build it in Lego Technic parts trains spatial thinking. Within our Core Coding Logic Program, we take it further still using math-Olympiad styled spatial puzzles.
Logical Reasoning - We do this through our how we create our class activities. We systematically include an element of variability or uncertainty. The result is that our activities can only be solved through application of logic and thinking critically to formulate algorithms that can adapt to changes.
Development of these abilities have been linked to better math and science abilities that are well documented in research literature.
Interactivity and learning through experience. Learning to code and the logic behind is no easy feat. Similar to languages or math concepts, they cannot be taught effectively with words on a page. They are best taught through repeated exposure on a regular basis, providing the mind time to internalize and develop an intuitive understanding of the concepts.
We emphasize real-world application and encourages exploration of ideas.

Python Masterclass (11+)While these are the recommended ages for each of our course, individual learning capabilities will differ. Reach out for a free trial at one of our centers where we can find the perfect course for your child.
-
The most productive time to start exposing your child to coding is from 7 years old.
According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children aged 7 - 12 are at their Concrete Operational Stage of Development. During this stage children start thinking logically about concrete events. They first start using inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning later when they are closer to 12.
-
Yes.
There will be periodic assessments for our students which vary in rigor and frequency depending on the course.
-
If your child understands the content, there is no reason in going through it again. We can assess your child’s abilities during the trial and recommend if he should skip certain courses / levels.
Let us know of the courses your child has attended when you book for a free trial. After the trial, our instructors can recommend if certain courses be skipped completely or done at an accelerated pace.
-
Yes.
We have holiday schedules for all our courses. The content covered is identical to that of the weekly class with the only difference being the class schedule.

-
We can provide assistance on project ideation and execution.
Every DSA project is different and unique for each student. We are able to help in finding a suitable project and create a bespoke course to ensure your child as all the required knowledge to code and explain the project.
