CodeMonkey Homeschool

No reviews

CodeMonkey teaches real programming (Python, CoffeeScript) to kids ages 6–14 through a gamified platform where learners write code to help a monkey collect bananas and save the world. Created by two coder brothers, CodeMonkey grows from drag-and-drop puzzles to typed solutions in an adventurous storyline. Parents love how it blends real syntax learning with playful levels, offers teacher dashboards, and supports both independent and classroom settings. What makes CodeMonkey stand out is its focus on actual coding skills—no block-based shortcuts—and its curriculum scaffolding from beginner to intermediate concepts, making it easier to build real coding fluency over time.

Families and schools begin by selecting a course level—ranging from block-based to real languages like CoffeeScript and Python—and students progress through themed game-based puzzles and project modules online. Lessons are delivered in a self-paced yet sequential format, often spanning 12+ weeks with in-app feedback, challenge extensions, and capstone projects. Live dashboards and teacher tools support pacing and review, making it easy to slot into homeschooling schedules as a core or supplemental coding track.

What kids will learn

Our mission

CodeMonkey’s mission is to create a global, playful learning experience where real programming skills are acquired through engaging puzzle-based challenges and creative projects. The platform aims to equip learners with computational thinking and 21st-century skills in a way that feels like play rather than work, using real text-based coding from the first day.

Our story

CodeMonkey was founded in 2014 by brothers Jonathan and Ido Schor after Jonathan’s success teaching young children to code through playful activities. Both co-founders bring deep tech and pedagogy expertise, having coded since elementary school, and they launched the platform to make real coding fun and accessible. Today it has reached over 34 million students across 206 countries, enjoyed adoption in more than 18,000 schools and after‑school programs, and continues to push forward with new coding and AI offerings

FAQ: Additional Details about CodeMonkey Homeschool

Your child logs in, completes a 10–20 minute puzzle or coding challenge (typing real code to help a monkey retrieve bananas), gets instant feedback, and may spend extra time on optional creative challenges or projects at the end of the session.

CodeMonkey is ideal for learners aged roughly 6–14 who enjoy puzzle-solving, project-based learning, and coding games. It suits children who thrive on incremental progression, creative problem-solving, and seeing immediate results from writing real code.

It may not be the best match for preschoolers or teens seeking professional-grade coding languages, families avoiding screen-based learning, or learners who prefer self-study without guided progression—it’s centered on structured, sequential engagement.

Families of children with ADHD, autism, and learning differences appreciate CodeMonkey’s structured progression, small-chunk lessons, and immediate feedback, which help learners stay focused and confident.

Gifted kids who enjoy puzzles and logic challenges tend to thrive with CodeMonkey. Families say the structured progression and creative problem-solving opportunities offer just the right amount of stretch and satisfaction.

No prerequisites; beginner levels start from foundational logic and build upward.

CodeMonkey offers a four-session money-back guarantee and scholarship support; full refund terms depend on enrollment timing.

Families say the trick is to treat CodeMonkey like a class—schedule consistent weekly lessons, encourage project completion, and use the teacher dashboard for tracking progress. Pushing students to tackle capstone projects or new AI modules helps cement skills and fosters creative confidence.
