CodeAdvantage Spark works in schools to develop student skills in logical thinking, creativity, and critical reasoning through coding and robotics. We bring experienced instructors and intellectually coherent curriculum.
Why coding?
Many of the best school systems in the world have computer science as part of the core curriculum—except in the United States. It’s difficult to implement for many reasons, including highly decentralized training and decision making in American schools. Despite high demand from families, computer science education is mostly an elective or out-of-school activity. Until now.
Having partnered with over 250 schools and districts to offer coding in enrichment programs, we are proud to be the premiere computer science education provider in the United States. Now, we are providing a program that is meticulously crafted to integrate seamlessly into the core curriculum and the existing school framework - offering a robust K-8 early coding curriculum.
We provide the instructors, project-based learning curriculum, and intellectually coherent ways of building skills.
An integrated coding program is more than a class. It’s an act of educational equity. We will show you how computer science education helps bridge gaps: the digital divide, the pandemic slide, and the gender gap. It bolsters interest in STEM, spurs critical thinking, as well as creative and leadership skills.

About Us
Introducing CodeAdvantage Spark
Over the past few years, our journey has led us to collaborate with over 250 schools and organizations nationwide, introducing early coding education primarily during out-of-school hours. This experience has highlighted a significant demand for incorporating coding education into the regular school curriculum. Our innovative in-school program, CodeAdvantage Spark, is designed specifically for elementary and middle school students.
Transforming In-School STEM Enrichment
Our school partners have consistently expressed a need for enrichment programs that offer genuine coding exposure, which has been a challenge to implement during regular school hours. Recognizing this gap, CodeAdvantage Spark is our response to these evolving educational needs. Our new program is meticulously crafted to integrate seamlessly into the existing school framework, offering a robust K-8 early coding curriculum.
Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and Coding!
CodeAdvantage Spark is more than just a coding program; it is a commitment to equip young learners with essential critical thinking skills in a manner as fundamental and integral as reading, writing, and mathematics. We believe that by instilling these skills at an early age, we are preparing students not just for the classroom, but for a world increasingly driven by technology.
Sparking a passion for coding
We are excited to partner with schools and districts to bring this transformative educational experience to students, fostering an environment where the leaders of tomorrow can flourish today. Join us in sparking a passion for coding in the next generation with CodeAdvantage Spark.
