Ready-To-Teach Lessons

Ready-to-teach lessons come fully prepared with videos, discussion questions, assessments, and guided practice, making them easy to teach—even for those new to CS. Lessons can also be set to self-paced mode, allowing students to work independently and giving teachers flexibility to meet different classroom needs.

Vertically-Aligned Computer Science Pathway

CodeHop curriculum provides vertically-aligned lessons to unify a K-12 computer science pathway at any district. Courses are aligned to state and national standards and are also available in Spanish.

Comprehensive Curriculum

Teachers can choose from a growing collection of elementary computer science lessons that often integrate our Scratch-based & ScratchJr-based environments alongside digital literacy, physical computing, and interactive activities. The collection includes lessons designed for stand-alone CS instruction as well as lessons designed for interdisciplinary integration.

Customizable PD and Implementation Support

Professional development workshops are designed to quickly get elementary teachers up to speed with teaching CodeHop lessons. No previous programming experience is needed! CodeHop also provides ongoing support with implementation with suggested lesson sequences.

I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you for awesome training! The vibe I got as teachers were leaving was one of excitement and relief that they could do this. I appreciate all the work you guys have put into this to make it easy for the elementary teachers to access the lessons and know what they need to do.

FAQ
Elementary Computer Science FAQ

Does CodeHS offer computer science curriculum for elementary school?

Yes. CodeHS offers a complete K-5 computer science curriculum, called CodeHop, with grade-by-grade courses from kindergarten through 5th grade. Every lesson comes ready to teach with lesson plans, slide decks, and hands-on activities, and the courses connect into CodeHS middle and high school curriculum to form a full K-12 pathway.

Do elementary teachers need coding experience to teach CodeHS?

No. CodeHS elementary lessons are built for classroom teachers with no computer science background. Each lesson is fully prepared with teacher guides, slides, and scaffolded activities, and CodeHS offers professional development and implementation support so teachers can feel confident leading their first coding lesson.

What do students learn in CodeHS elementary computer science?

Students learn block-based coding, computational thinking, digital literacy, and the basics of how technology works. Lessons are project-based, so students spend their time creating — building games, stories, and animations — with both on-screen and unplugged activities designed for young learners.

Can computer science be integrated into other elementary subjects?

Yes. The CodeHS K-5 Interdisciplinary Computer Science pathway weaves coding and computational thinking into math, science, English language arts, and social studies lessons. It's designed for schools where the grade-level classroom teacher teaches computer science — so coding fits into the school day you already have, without a dedicated CS specialist.

Is the CodeHS elementary curriculum aligned to state standards?

Yes. CodeHS offers state-specific elementary courses aligned to state computer science and digital literacy standards, including versions for California, Florida, Georgia, New York, Tennessee, Virginia, and many other states. Each state course maps its lessons to that state's standards, grade by grade.

Does CodeHS teach digital literacy and AI in elementary school?

Yes. CodeHS offers Digital Literacy & AI courses for every grade from kindergarten through 5th grade, covering foundational technology skills, online safety, and age-appropriate lessons on how artificial intelligence works. Schools can teach them on their own or alongside the CodeHS elementary computer science pathway.
