Follow this guide to get ready for your first day with CodeHS!
Teacher Setup
Set up your Teacher Account
If you don’t have a CodeHS teacher account, create one here.
Verify Your Account so that you have access to the available teacher tools.
If your school has purchased a Pro license, make sure your section(s) have Pro access by visiting your License Page. If you have questions, please contact your Customer Success Manager or support@codehs.com.
Check out the CodeHS Curriculum
Visit CodeHS Curriculum to explore the courses and pathways available and see our new courses for the school year. Add the course to your Courses page to get started. You can also preview the curriculum or enroll in a course as a student.
Set up your Courses and Sections
Within CodeHS, a Course is a sequence of curriculum Assignments that your students will work through. A Section is a group of students working on a course - think of it as a class period. Multiple sections of students can use the same course.
From the left-hand navigation menu, click Courses to create a course for your students.
You can create custom assignments or even edit CodeHS assignments in your course.
Once your courses are set up, create a section for your students. Learn more about Creating Courses and Sections.
When you're ready for students to get started, invite your students to join your section via email, with your class code, or using a join link. Learn more about inviting students to join your section. You can also sync a roster with your section using our Rostering Tools and Integrations.
