Code4Kids offers ready-to-teach lessons, practical teacher support, and curriculum mapped to Tennessee’s computer science standards for local review.
This is exactly where Code4Kids steps in to make things simple for teachers, especially those with no prior experience in Computer Science. Teaching CS in Grades K-8 is vital, and the only way to do it effectively is by ensuring educators have the support and resources they need to succeed.
The first step is choosing the right starting point for your learners. A successful Computer Science rollout is typically phased in over two to three years and no one knows your students better than you, their teacher, does. That’s why Code4Kids makes it easy to adapt our curriculum to your context, with a clear structure that supports progression at a pace that works for your school.
For Lower Elementary level, simply begin at the grade level that best matches your students' needs. Each course is designed to be flexible, with no strict prerequisites - these grade-level suggestions simply serve as a recommended starting point.
Choose the starting point that aligns with your students’ current skill level. While each course builds on key concepts, they are designed to be accessible without formal prerequisites. Our grade-level guidance is there to help you plan effectively, not to limit your options.
All Middle School students are required to earn one credit by completing the G25X40 course. This flexible course can be taught in Grade 6, 7, or 8, and is designed to be completed over either a 9-week or 18-week schedule, with a total time commitment of 30-40 hours.
At Code4Kids, we start with a simple belief: every district is unique. Your mix of schools, staffing models, and community priorities is unlike any other, so your computer science strategy deserves more than a one-size-fits-all solution. Our curriculum supports a broader K–12 computer science pathway for schools that want to go beyond a minimum introductory experience.
It builds a cohesive K-12 pathway that gives students the skills and confidence they need to succeed. In elementary school, we lay the groundwork with coding, AI, and digital citizenship. By middle school, students are creating apps, building websites, and working with physical computing - far beyond the requirements of the G25X40 course.
By 9th grade, they’re not just fulfilling graduation requirements, they’re stepping confidently into advanced CCTE pathways. We don’t just deliver curriculum, we build partnerships. Before any launch, we work closely with district leaders and teachers to understand what’s already in place, where you want to go, and how success should be measured.
From there, we co-create a rollout plan that fits your schedules, staffing, and budget - not a generic playbook. That partnership carries through the entire year. Onboarding includes personalized training and group sessions. After that, we’re always available: unlimited coaching, regular check-ins, support for new teachers, and quick updates when things shift. Our quarterly reports turn usage and progress into clear takeaways you can use to guide decisions.
We aim to be more than a vendor - we’re an extension of your team. Walking the halls with you, answering the next teacher question, and helping every student grow - from their first line of code through graduation.

We begin by listening. Every district is different, so we start with a collaborative conversation to understand your unique goals, challenges, and current Computer Science programs.
During this process, we will develop:
Once we’re on board, we kick off your first phase of implementation - smoothly and strategically.
We provide regular updates that celebrate progress and impact. This includes the following:
Technology moves fast. We help your district stay ahead. We achieve this by:
