The Habit Behind Every Build
Seven technologies = one habit
Syntax changes every Seven years. The habit doesn't.
We teach
computational thinking
first, then Seven technologies to practice it in.
Decompose. Pattern. Abstract. Iterate. Every module (Scratch, JavaScript, Python, Web, AI, Web development, 3D design) is the same four moves in a new dialect. By Grade 8, these moves become second nature.
Block-based to AI in, one continuous arc. The languages are the vehicle. The thinking is the cargo.
Late Starts · Same Builder
Worried your child is behind? Your child still ships a portfolio.
Worried your child is behind? Your child still ships a portfolio.
The progression compounds best when it starts in Grade 3, but the modular curriculum places by ability, not age. Whichever grade your child enters at, they unlock the next module by shipping the last one.

What Your Child Will Ship
A portfolio of real, running projects.
A portfolio of
real, running projects.
Every module ends in a real, working build your child owns. We don't publish the catalogue, every cohort ships something different. But the themes are constant: Different lenses your child gets to point code at.
Theme 01 · Space
Space & the planets.
Gravity simulations, planetary calculations, sunrises and sunsets, live NASA-feed data.
Theme 02 · Natural world
The natural world.
Live weather, air quality, wildlife data, sustainable-energy modelling.
Theme 03 · Social good
People & social good.
Anti-bullying tools, emergency one-tap apps, voting systems, symptom-aware health bots.
Theme 04 · Games
Games & play.
Classic arcade rebuilds, physics-driven platformers, word puzzles, board games.
Theme 05 · Creativity
Stories & creativity.
Animated stories, digital music, art generators, greeting cards.
Theme 06 · Everyday life
Everyday life & money.
Schedules, timers, expense trackers, currency converters, ticket-booking flows.
Every capstone is owned by the student, the build, the code, the link. We don't host their work behind a paywall.
One cycle · Three bands
A cycle is a calendar that wraps.
Each grade band runs as one continuous cycle. Your child joins at whichever module the class is on today, and circles back to the start of the program.

Post-AI Skills
The 4 skills AI won't replace. Built in every coding class.
Not as a separate lesson, but inside the work, 1 teacher per 4 kids, every kid explains, every class ships something real. That structure is what builds the four skills below.

Mastery = Shipped
Your child earns each module by shipping it.
Capstone project per module · Reviewed and demoed live · Promotion issued on a working build, not on attendance.
A capstone is a real, running project (a game, a site, a tool, a model) built across the module, then shipped at the end of it.
1capstone*
The Gate
Ship the capstone. The next module unlocks. Not before.
Monthly Show-and-Tell
Once a month, your child stands up and demos what they built.
Cohort + parents + instructors on the call. Your child opens their build, walks through the decisions, takes the questions. It's the moment "I made this" becomes a sentence they say out loud.
Show & Tell · Live
How Engineers Actually Work
No engineer ships alone. Your child shouldn't learn alone either.
Real software is built in teams: code review, pair programming, standup, demo day. A 1:1 class trains the wrong muscle. A 1:4 class trains the one that ships.
"In every 98thPercentile coding class, the kid who explains the function to a peer is the one who masters it. Watch a class for ten minutes, you'll see the Protégé Effect work in real time. That's why we don't do 1:1."

Tarun T
"I have been taking coding classes at 98th Percentile for more than 2 years now and my experience is really amazing. I have learned lot of new things and I have also participated in coding competitions at county level where I secured positions in top 3, and all this is because of the concepts and languages that I am learning in my classes. All credit goes to my teacher Mrs. Bhumika who always teaches me with patience and helps me in every possible way. She's simply the best
Aarya C
"I love the teacher's teaching method. I enjoy joining 98th percentile coding classes. My coding teacher, Ms. Hudaibiya, has amazing classes which are fun to join. "
Ashish
"The best online learning experience for coding! Our 8 year old is learning coding and she loves the classes so much that she absolutely does not want to miss a single class! The teacher, Pranav, is brilliant at teaching and engaging with kids. Highly recommend for anyone looking for online coding classes for kids!"

Before You Book
The questions you're actually asking.
My child has never coded before. Is Grade 3 too early, or are they too far behind?+
Grade 3 is the right entry point, the curriculum is built around block-based logic before any real-syntax language, so your child can think in code before they type in it. And there is no "behind." The modular curriculum places by ability, not age. The trial class is the placement signal, the instructor watches one 50-minute class and slots your child into the right module.
What happens if my child misses a class?+
Every live class is recorded and posted to the parent dashboard within 24 hours, so your child never loses the content. Catch-up classes are need-based, not automatic. They're triggered only when your child's teacher flags a real gap. If the teacher signals one is needed, the Student Success Manager arranges a 1:1 session at no extra cost.
What's actually different about the capstone gate? Why not just "complete the module"?+
Most kids' coding classes finish a module when the calendar runs out. Ours finish when the build runs. Your child does not advance to the next module until the capstone is shipped, a real, demoable, working build. That's the gate. It's why Show-and-Tell exists: presenting the capstone to the cohort is part of shipping it. We don't promote until the result is real.
Six languages across the program, is that exposure, or are they actually learning?+
Both, by design. Deep enough to ship, broad enough to choose. Each language is its own module with its own capstone, so your child has shipped a real build in that language before moving on. By the end of the program they've made a deliberate choice about which language they want to go further in, not by reading about it, but by having actually used six.
What does my child need at home? Any setup or apps to install?+
A laptop with a working webcam and a stable internet connection. Classes run in the browser, no install, no extra app. Code editors load in the browser too. Headphones recommended but not required.
Is there a trial? What if it isn't a fit?+
Yes, and the trial isn't a separate demo. It's a real class, same 1:4 room, same live cadence, same kind of instructor your child would have after enrolling, sitting inside whichever module the cohort is on that week. What you and your child see is what enrolling actually looks like.
