High School (Ages `14-18)`

High school is a great time to learn coding.

Unfortunately, many high school computer science classes are large group classes with absolute beginners mixed in with students who have been coding for 10 years.

That’s why Penguin Coding School offers classes that fit the different levels and experiences for high schoolers.

Whether you want some basic background in coding before you take a graded computer science class or if you want independent study for the AP Computer Science A exam, we offer lessons in Java that fit your level.

We also offer 1-1 Mentorship for students who want to build a coding project portfolio for a Capstone project or STEM-related internships and scholarships at MIT and other top-rated institutions. You can find Capstone and internship information here.
