Vertically-Aligned Computer Science Pathway

CodeHS elementary curriculum provides customizable, vertically-aligned lessons to unify a K-12 computer science pathway at any district. Lessons are aligned to state and national standards.

Ready-to-Go Lessons

Based on feedback from teachers, our new Ready-to-Go lesson model includes instructional videos embedded in the slides right at the top of the Lesson Plan page, so teachers can begin teaching the lesson with minimal prep. This new design is intended to feel more intuitive to use, and also highlights essential information, such as lesson resources.

Personalized District Implementation Consultation

Districts and their teachers are provided ongoing CodeHS support to ensure a successful elementary implementation which includes suggested lesson sequences.

Customizable Professional Development Workshops

CodeHS professional development workshops are designed to quickly get elementary teachers up to speed with teaching CodeHS lessons. No previous programming experience is needed!

Project Based Elementary Curriculum

Each elementary lesson is modular and very hands-on! Teachers are provided a tutorial video for ease of preparation along with a detailed rubric and differentiation options to shorten or extend each lesson.

The scope and sequence of lessons will be customizable based on district needs including:
