Java vs Python: What's Best For Your Child?

Java

  • Aligned with high school AP Computer Science A curriculum
  • Strong Object Oriented Programming design
  • Best for more experienced coders
  • Learn a static type system

Python

  • Aligned with high school AP Computer Science Principles curriculum
  • Not focused on Object Oriented Programming
  • Simple, readable syntax perfect for beginners
  • Learn a dynamic type system

Curriculum Roadmap

1

Introduction to Syntax

Mastering variables, data types, and basic operators. Writing your first "Hello World" program.

2

Control Flow & Logic

Using if/else statements and loops to control program execution. Building simple interactive programs.

3

Functions & Modular Code

Breaking down complex problems into smaller, reusable functions. Understanding scope and arguments.

4

Object-Oriented Programming

Learning about classes, objects, inheritance, and encapsulation. Building more complex systems.

How Classes Work

Weekly Sessions

Consistent weekly classes help build a strong habit and allow for steady progress.

Small Batches

Low student-to-teacher ratio ensures your child gets the help they need when they get stuck.

Hands-on Coding

We believe in learning by doing. Students spend most of the class writing actual code.
