About the field

Why coding — and why now

A skill for any profession

Needed in every job within 5 years

Programming knowledge will be required in nearly every profession over the next 5 years — from medicine and finance to design. We give your child the foundation early.

What 90% of schools skip

Practical IT, not theory

Schools teach how to use software. We teach how to build it — code, games, websites, AI tools. The skill the industry actually hires for.

Real careers, real salaries

IT programmers earn $2,000+

Software developer, data analyst, game designer, UI/UX designer — careers your child can actually choose. We start with the same tools the industry uses today.

How it works

Project-based learning — from first lesson to portfolio

Every learner starts with a personal plan and a matched teacher — not a generic class.

1. Free trial class (60 min)

Your child meets a real teacher and tries a hands-on project. We see their starting level and interests. No card required.

2. Personal course plan

Based on the trial, we recommend the right course (one of 7) for your child's age, level, and interests.

3. Matched with a selected teacher

Teachers are selected 1 in 30 — minimum 3 years of IT experience. Lessons in small groups or one-on-one.

4. Weekly lessons + real projects

Live online classes on our learning platform. Every module ends with a project your child built — by course end, a real portfolio.

What parents say

Trusted by 320,000 families across 77 countries

Rafi was the kid stuck on YouTube and games. Three months in Junior Coders and he's building his own game instead of just playing them. His teacher actually knows what makes him tick.

We tried two other coding schools before. Algonova was the only one where Nadya didn't want to skip a class. The trajectory they built for her made it feel like her own thing — not homework.

I'm a software engineer. I was skeptical about online classes for a 7-year-old. The methodology is solid — they actually teach computational thinking, not just drag-and-drop.

FAQ

Common questions from parents

What age can my child start coding?

From age 5. Coding Knight uses ScratchJr — designed for pre-readers. From there: Digital Literacy (7), Visual Programming (8–11), Game Design (10–14), Python (12+), Frontend & AI (16–17). Fits beginner kids and those with no coding experience.

Does my child need a special laptop?

No. Any laptop from the last 5 years works. The platform runs in a browser. For Coding Knight (5–6), a tablet is also fine.

How long is one course?

Each course is 32–41 lessons (typically 8–11 months at once weekly). Children often take 2–3 courses across their age progression.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Every completed course earns a certificate that can be added to school portfolios or university applications.

Online or in-person?

Online, on our own platform. Live classes with a real teacher. All you need is a laptop and internet.

What's the difference between Coding Knight, Visual Programming, Game Design?

Different ages and tools. Coding Knight (5–6) = ScratchJr foundation. Visual Programming (8–11) = advanced Scratch. Python is introduced from age 10 onward. Game Design (10–14) = Roblox + Lua.

Can my child switch between courses?

Yes. The trial class helps us recommend the right starting course. Switching is possible based on interest and progress.

How much does it cost?

Packages personalized based on course, format (Private/Premium/Group), and length. Quote shared after the free trial class.
