Contact UsCodeJitsu starts with block-based coding (Scratch) for beginners and progresses through HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Python, and React for more advanced students. The curriculum adapts based on the student's belt level and interests.
No prior experience is needed! Our white belt program is designed for complete beginners. We'll assess your child's current skill level and place them in the appropriate belt level to ensure they're challenged but not overwhelmed.
On average, students advance through each belt level in 3-6 months, depending on class frequency, practice habits, and prior experience. Our curriculum allows for personalized pacing to ensure each student masters the skills before advancing.
Students need a laptop or tablet with internet access. We have computer stations available for in-person classes, but having a device at home allows for practice between sessions. All software we use is free or provided in the program.
We offer both in-person and virtual options. In-person classes are held at our dojo locations, while virtual classes use interactive learning platforms. Both options follow the same structured curriculum and belt advancement system.
Students receive guidance from experienced instructors, access to our online learning platform, project feedback, and mentorship. Higher belt levels include 1-on-1 sessions and industry connections to help with app development and entrepreneurship.
CodeJitsu combines technical skills with entrepreneurial mindset training. Our belt system provides clear progression and motivation, and we focus on building complete products, not just coding exercises. Students learn the full cycle from idea to launched app.
Beyond coding skills, students develop problem-solving abilities, confidence, and entrepreneurial thinking. These are highly valuable for college applications, future careers in tech, and even starting their own businesses. Many of our black belts have launched successful apps.
