In this new technological word our kids more and more need exposure to the world of computer science and coding. Computer programming is an ever expanding field that our kids do well to get their hands on learning. There are a few companies that are dedicated to have children learn the language of coding, and CodeWizardsHQ is one of them. The kids of the Schoolhouse Review Crew got to preview to first lesson of their level I course.
CodeWizardsHQ is a homeschoooling computer curriculum that offers live classes in computer science. It is important to note that these are "live", meaning a real-time teacher teaching and interacting with your kids. It is not self-pace. It is a full, comprehensive coding curriculum that can prepare your kids for college. It is intended for grade 5-10 students.
For more about the uniqueness of the program, check their website.
CodeWizardsHQ is comprised of a set of 12 week courses. They offer 3 levels of computer programming and coding instruction, ending with a fourth level that consists of a 6-month internship program with a partner non-profit organization.
This video gives you a nice snapshot of what this program is like:
From the one off class my son (for whom this was the first exposure to coding) participated it, we can say the following:
In this one hour class that the kids took, they learn some basics code language and were able to create a comic strip web-page. Your children has constant access to his work, which means they can work on it anytime.
These coding classes look really interesting and I am happy that my son got interested in coding. it would make for a perfect elective class. I am really considering having one of my kids enrolling for this.
This is a program for any student really, but CodeWizardsHQ is making a special offer for homeschool students. There is a significantly lower per-student pricing based on the # of students in the class and the flexibility to pick their own class time.

- the teacher was very friendly and knowledge. She was articulate and connected with the kids.
- the pacing was good, as my son said he was not bored and found it quite interesting
- it was enough to pick his interest in the subject
