This course also fosters and shapes the habit of creating games, rather than just playing them, and accustoms children to useful and developmental games, instead of ordinary ones that teach wasting time and energy in vain.

We’ve visited Go Coding school last week and was impressed with a wide variety of courses offered and the curriculum. We live far from Brooklyn and decided to take coding class virtually. My son looooved the class to say the least!

My daughter (6 y.o.) is attending this school for almost 6 months.The school offers a large variety of classes to chose from. So, first we enrolled at Chess and Math in Minecraft, but later we also added Digital Drawing. And each time my daughter goes there with great excitement and enthusiasm. And I consider this to be an important indicator - that the child is feeling happy there and feels free to express her opinion, and of course to learn new, useful and interesting information. She even improved her school results, which makes me happy and thankful to Coding School.

This is our first year at Argoprep, what I especially like is that the guys really love what they do and pass it on to the kids. My son enjoys going to every class. He does Robox, learns to code, creates presentations and learns to show them. as a mother, I enjoy the growth of my child on the example of a young team surrounded by kind, creative and active people. Thank you for your work!

My sister took some courses to help get back into shape after a long covid induced online schooling period. Nothing compares to in person teaching and the staff here are well prepared to do so. My sister actually enjoyed going to classes! Highly recommended!
