DPE services
Coding & Programming
Programming fundamentals, computational thinking and software development, from block-based coding to Python.
Overview
What Coding & Programming Looks Like at DPE
Coding teaches students to break big problems into small, solvable steps. DPE starts with visual block-based programming and moves students toward text-based languages like Python as their confidence grows.
Suitable for
- Primary 4 – JHS 2
- SHS

FAQs
Coding & Programming FAQs
Answers to what school leaders, parents and sponsors ask us most.
Which programming languages are taught?
Younger learners start with block-based tools; older students progress to Python and, in web tracks, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Do students need a laptop at home?
No. Core learning happens in supervised sessions. Home access is helpful but not required.
