Why Computhink?

Maximum learning in small classes

All our classes are kept small to ensure maximum attention to your child's learning needs. By keeping the class small, we ensure that each kid gets the guidance and coaching he or she needs to bring their imagination to life through programming. Besides allowing us to get to know your kid better, we also encourage the kids in our classes to get to know one another and this is better facilitated in a small group setting.

Hands-On Activity-Based Learning

We believe that kids learn best when they do it themselves in a fun environment. That is why we ensure that each kid is given a laptop to work their own respective projects and try their hand in the programming projects and activities. It is heartening each time we see the kids beaming and being proud of themselves when they get the code to work as they want it to.

Our Teaching Philosophy

This idea that kids will learn anything that they want to, when they are given the freedom to create, inspires and drives our teaching philosophy. In this, we are influenced by the work of Sugata Mitra (Educational Researcher) whose research demonstrates the effect that a child’s innate curiosity and interest have on learning complex subjects outside the normal school environment.

Follow-On Mastery Classes

Join our regular weekly semester classes and let your child enhance their understanding and develop deep technical and programming skills. We provide classes from CodeThinker Levels 1 to Level 10. Each level is equivalent to one year of study. Students will learn Programming skills through ScratchThinker, PythonThinker, CodeStudio, HTML+CSS, Javascript and more!

Our curriculum is constantly being updated by professionals to reflect the latest in the IT industry. Want to learn AI? We've got it! Develop a game of mobile app? We've got you covered!
