View the coding program the character traits we reinforce in every session
Free session. No semester commitment. We will help you choose the right ongoing class only if it is a good fit.
Your middle schooler does not need another passive activity. Give them a studio session where they build something real and decide if this is their thing.
In 60 minutes, your child will
- Tackle a project closer to what ongoing students work on (logic, structure, creative choices)
- Get honest feedback from a coach — not generic praise
- See what a serious after-school tech program actually feels like
Why coding
At this age, coding is a creative and career-relevant skill — but only if the environment respects their intelligence. We treat students like builders: real problems, real tools, real standards.
Right for 6th–8th grade
They are forming identity: What am I good at? What do I actually enjoy? A trial lets them test that without a semester-long commitment.
More than a tech class
Love to Code Academy is a character development academy. Every session, students practice teamwork, persistence, and ownership — not just skills. Small classes. Real tools. Coaches who know your child by name.
What happens after the trial?
If it is a fit, we will recommend the right ongoing class and belt level. If not, you will still leave knowing whether coding or robotics excites your child — with zero pressure to enroll.
Free session. No semester commitment.
At the end of the session, you'll have a quick sit-down chat with a coach to go over how your child did and answer any questions about enrollment options.
Common questions
He ended up designing and coding an entire game in Scratch 3, which is something I honestly don't think he would have ever tried on his own before this program... He kept adding new ideas and, even when something didn't work, he would figure it out and try again instead of giving up.
The classes challenged them in the best way and sparked a new love for coding and robotics. I especially loved seeing the confidence they gained as they learned new skills and pushed through challenges.
The staff were so engaged, enthusiastic, and supportive throughout the entire program. My boys absolutely loved going and were always excited to tell me about what they learned that day.
