While we encourage any person of any age to learn to code on CodeMonkey, our curriculum was created for grades K-8 (ages 4 to 14+).
For the appropriate course for your student's age group, we recommend starting with the following:

We believe anyone can learn to code, and that each one has their own learning curve and pace. Therefore, we encourage you and your students to explore the courses outside of their age group, as it can be helpful for either more basic or more challenging coding concepts.
