What You Get Every Month
You will know exactly what your child learned
Most parents six weeks into a coding class cannot say what their child has actually learned. This is how we fix that.
- Boston Parents Family Favorite seven years running
- Macaroni Kids Favorite 2026
- FIRST LEGO League & VEX Judges Award
- State finalists, FLL & VEX
- STEM.org accredited
- CSTA & NGSS aligned
Not a drop-in coding club. A ten-month program with a cohort, a competition team, and a monthly report that shows you exactly what your child built and why it mattered.
Every report contains
- The topics covered that month
- The concept behind each one, explained in plain language — not just the name of the thing
- What your child actually built
- Where they found it easy, and where they had to push
- An instructor’s specific observation about your child
- What is coming next month
And at the end of each belt
A longer completion report: the whole ten months as a narrative, a skills portfolio, the capstone project, and what the natural next step is. It carries forward into the next belt, so the record is cumulative rather than starting again each year.
Why this exists at all
Because “she had fun” is not an answer to “what did she learn?”
Ask any program you are considering how often you hear how your child is actually doing, and in what form. It is a fair question and the answer tells you most of what you need to know. Ours is monthly, written, specific to your child, and cumulative across the years they are with us.
What your child leaves with
A portfolio
Working apps, games, robots and websites they built themselves — not a certificate of attendance. Everything is saved to their own profile.
A team
The route into our VEX and FIRST LEGO League competition teams, with a real season, a capped roster and tournament results.
A transcript
A written report every month explaining what they covered, the concept behind it, and what comes next. A fuller one at the end of each belt.
Questions people ask us
Is this not just an expensive coding class?
The difference is the progression and the record. A drop-in club teaches a topic. This is a ten-month sequence with a capstone, a cohort, and a written account of what was learned.
What if she loses interest after a month?
Then we refund the balance after four sessions — about a month in. We would rather find out quickly than have a child sitting through a year that is not working.
The school already has a coding club. Why pay for this?
School clubs are usually large, unstructured and staffed by whoever volunteered. This runs at six students to an instructor, with a curriculum and a documented outcome.
Do we have to commit to the whole year?
The belt is a ten-month arc, so yes. If that is too much right now, Studio is a one-hour weekly option that students move across from when they are ready.
Do clubs get a report too?
No, and that is deliberate. Clubs get a short end-of-term note. The monthly written report is what the Belt Program is for, and it stays there.
