Experience our award-winning curriculum that has turned learners into winners of National and Global Code competitions.

MIT-Inspired, Age-Appropriate Curriculum

Our curriculum utilises Scratch, a “low-floor and high-ceiling” program, which allows young users to create a myriad of projects, from basic to advanced.

Enhance Problem-Solving Skills

Students are guided to come up with their original solutions to problems in their code and learn debugging skills.

Give your child a technological edge.

  • We believe in engaging children to be thinkers and creators through hands-on and project-based learning. It is increasingly recommended that coding is an essential skill for everyone – not just people who aspire to be programmers and computer scientists. This is because it teaches computational thinking, which knows no age limit. Computational thinking is about solving problems efficiently, by breaking them down into more manageable pieces. It also includes learning abstraction, seeing the larger picture from minute details

  • Increasingly, students are exposed to basic programming at school. Whether they’ve done 6 months of basic Scratch, Sphero or Robotics, our rigorous programme goes significantly beyond, focusing on the cognitive development of our students in the area of computational thinking, regardless of platform. We have designed a curriculum that introduces computational thinking at an age-appropriate level. Our students very quickly progress on to modelling advanced concepts; building programs such as a fidget spinner, platformer game, or utilising the power of Artificial Intelligence to build a car number plate recogniser. Scratch is a platform for our students to develop and showcase their intellectual powers, as compared to merely flitting around various software programs in a touch-and-go manner.

  • We encourage our students to explore the limits of their imagination. Our course culminates in an actual guided hackathon, where students put together characters and functions to create games, stories or animations of their choice.

  • Whilst plenty of guidance is given, students are given the opportunity to debug their codes themselves so that deep understanding of concepts can happen. Under the watch of our nurturing educators, students will be guided to present their final projects to the class at the end of every module. After all, they should take pride in every line of code they write.

  • The beauty of our curriculum is not what language we choose to introduce, but the rigorous practice of problem-solving. This also involves creativity, in dreaming up original solutions, and the determination to follow through on a coding project. These perseverance and logical skills are fundamental to all coding languages, and indeed, in life!

Get started on your coding adventures with Scratch – the perfect, gentle introduction to coding! Design your first game or animation based on your favourite characters like Joe’s Flying Kirby. (Click image to enlarge)

Create a smart program that can identify car plate numbers for better security! Go on a journey to become an expert by exploring various fields such as Cognitive Artificial Intelligence in computing in our P11S Young Computer Scientists course. (Click image to enlarge)

Perfect for beginners AND the advanced – make complex projects like Jun Min’s Covid-19 simulator which uses exponential modelling! He still constantly goes back to Scratch despite moving onto other platforms. (Click image to enlarge)
