Coding for State Board, IB and IGCSE Students
Whether your child follows a state board, IB, IGCSE or an international curriculum abroad, the core programming skills are the same. We start from what your child's grade covers and build practical coding on top.
Stage by stage
Coding in the Other boards curriculum
| Stage | Typically at school | What to add |
|---|---|---|
| State boards | Computer education varies by state, from ICT basics to programming in the senior classes | A structured path from Scratch to Python and projects |
| IB (PYP / MYP / DP) | Design and project work in the PYP and MYP; Computer Science in the Diploma Programme | Programming skills that power design projects and DP Computer Science |
| IGCSE / Cambridge | Computer Science includes algorithms and programming | Python practice and problem solving |
| UK, US and other curricula | Computing or CS standards that progress from block to text coding | See our city pages for curriculum-specific notes |
Subjects and codes change over time and schools implement them differently, so check current board circulars. CodingChamp is independent and not affiliated with any board.
Common gaps parents notice
- Very different depth between schools
- Project time is often limited
