At Berlitz Digital School, we believe that learning is a gradual process, where fun and progress go hand in hand. This is why we offer coding classes for kids at every age and skill level. Starting with the basics of programming, our students can improve their coding skills and expand their knowledge step by step.
Beginner courses
The Digital School Beginner classes are an excellent introduction to coding for kids aged 7 to 15. Our students will learn programming fundamentals, logic, and problem-solving while also encouraging creativity and critical thinking.
Intermediate courses
Students at the Intermediate level build on their knowledge from the Beginner courses to study more complex programming topics like functions, data structures, and algorithms. During our coding classes for kids, they also learn how to use these concepts in the development of increasingly complicated apps and programs.

Berlitz Digital School methodology
What makes our teaching method unique?
Developing patience and problem-solving skills
Theory and instruction are provided, but students work independently to solve programming challenges to enhance their patience and problem-solving skills.
Learning through trial and error
We don’t provide the final solution to the programming problems or projects. Instead, we encourage students to think freely, make mistakes, learn from them, and find the answer on their own.
Receiving supportive guidance
When students encounter a difficulty, our trained instructors help them solve the problem by breaking it down on the whiteboard.
Building creativity
Kids practice and increase their creativity by working on projects, games, and applications. And because there is no one-stop answer, children put into practice the theory they have learned during the lessons. The final result is higher-quality, less buggy games and apps.
A comprehensive learning path
Students must complete one level in order to progress to the next level since the concepts taught in our courses are interrelated. This ensures that students have a solid foundation in all of the key programming ideas and principles of programming for kids. They will also learn critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are necessary for success in the digital age.
Result-oriented approach
Coding for kids begins with a 5-minute summary of the session before moving on to a 10-minute discussion of new ideas. Then, students will spend the entire class practicing what they learned in previous lessons. Following the course, students might do short exercises in the LMS, a Kahoot quiz to recap all they have learned or get further challenges.
Expert instructors
Our instructors have extensive knowledge of delivering engaging courses to help students understand and implement complex programming topics. With our coding classes for kids, students get a solid foundation in the latest skills and technologies. They also benefit from the insights of instructors with real-world experience, which may help them develop successful careers in the IT business.
Why should kids learn with Berlitz Digital School?
Content designed for all levels
At Berlitz Digital School, programming for kids is available for kids of all ability levels, from beginners to experts. We have certified and experienced teachers who can teach your kid the basics of programming as well as more advanced topics like game design and web building.
Guaranteed fun in our houses
Students take a personality test before the classes begin to be assigned to a house with peers who share their values and passions. They can participate in challenges and activities to gain experience and even run for office in their house's government. The best students from each house are rewarded with prizes at the end of the year.
A unique teaching method
Our classes reflect the importance of practice in the learning process. We believe that making mistakes is essential to exploring a new field, and we allow our students to experiment freely when met with a problem. This method not only improves the problem-solving skills of our students but also makes them more patient when they face an issue. To encourage our students to find individual solutions, our instructors provide guidance by breaking down the solution on a whiteboard.
Projects and extra activities
Students can enjoy a wide range of exercises and activities with us. During the lessons, kids have a chance to apply their skills in practice and complete various challenges, as well as solo and group projects. To assist them in learning and improving as a programmer, we also offer extracurricular activities like hackathons and coding competitions.
