What do students learn?
This programme is part of the LCCL Core Curriculum, and its instructional design is guided by the LCCL Progression Framework. By the end of Coding Fundamentals levels 1, 2, and 3, the learner would have:
- Attained a mastery of fundamental coding concepts
- Applied computational problem solving strategies
- Developed a portfolio of total of 22 - 27 projects including animation, games and apps
Coding Fundamentals Level 1 starts the beginner in fun and engaging projects where they code animations and games. Each lesson is scaffolded and learning objectives of each project build upon earlier ones.

FAQs
How do I know if my child is suitable for this?
Contact us for a free trial class. Our teachers will assess your child's suitability and advise accordingly.
How is LccL's camps different?
Our Coding Fundamentals curriculum is proven to produce students who are well-versed with code and computational thinking, as they are trained in-depth to code complex solutions. With strong fundamentals, graduates pick up other disciplines much faster and easier. As a gauge, most Level 3 graduates complete the Robotics and Python curriculum in half the time as one without foundational backing.
Is the class in-person?
This is an in-person class, held at LccL Coding Academy's flagship Tanglin campus. Contact us if you need an alternative.
