Earlier this year, the College Board announced revisions to the AP Computer Science A curriculum. In response, we’ve launched the new CodeHS AP CSA Cortado course—designed from the ground up to align with these updates.

While addressing the new College Board requirements, we also took this opportunity to refresh the entire course. Cortado features new lessons, expanded coding activities, updated examples, and a deeper integration of computer science pedagogy. The result is an engaging, collaborative, and student-centered learning experience that supports both teachers and learners. This course is also now officially endorsed by the College Board!

What’s next? It is your turn! Get ready to teach AP CSA next year and set your students up for exam success by joining the 2026-27 Teaching AP CSA Cohort!

Synchronous Sessions - Learn alongside peers in interactive sessions held at five key points throughout the year.

Asynchronous Activities - Explore teaching strategies that promote engagement and collaboration and learn how to overcome common student comprehension challenges within a CodeHS workshop section.

Spotlight Lessons - Review CodeHS Spotlight lessons for an in-depth look at new AP CSA content areas and specific topics that warrant special attention.

The cohort is led by the CodeHS Professional Development Team, composed of experienced computer science educators who have worked with schools across the country to implement successful computer science programs.

Our facilitators bring deep expertise in:

This wealth of classroom and coaching experience ensures participants receive practical, real-world guidance they can apply immediately to their teaching practice.
