Course Outline

Set your teen apart by giving them a head start in Python — one of the world’s top five programming languages.

Python is a powerful language, widely used in companies such as Google and Amazon Web Services. Yet, it is the best place to start for younger learners who are new to programming because of its relative simplicity.

Through a diverse range of real-world challenges, students will see how coding applies to today’s digital world. They will combine their Python knowledge with what they’ve learnt in school through mathematical challenges, helping them understand how coding concepts can be applied in everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions

About S102 Python 1

What is your average class size?

Most of our classes have a 1:8 teacher-to-student ratio, except classes for students aged 13–18, which have a 1:10 ratio. We keep our classes small so that every student benefits from personalised attention.

What do students need to bring to class?

We provide all equipment for the classes. Students just need to bring stationery, water bottle and a jacket in case it gets cold.

Can students cope with the long hours?

Definitely. Our classes are well-paced with activities in between to ensure that all our students are able to follow along. On top of that, there is also a 10-minute break every hour to ensure they get off-screen time to rest and refresh themselves. Students are also encouraged to bring their own snacks.

Are there any prerequisites for the coding classes?

Yes, it differs for each programme. Do check the prerequisites carefully before signing up.

What if a student has done a coding class previously? Can he or she still attend your coding class?

The student may need to complete a placement test as we will need to assess his or her foundation level as the curriculum offered by other avenues may be different. We want to ensure that every student who comes to our class benefits and learns. Hence, it is vital that your child is enrolled in the right course to provide them with the right level of challenge.

What if I have done P101/P201 before? Can my child still sign up for the whole term?

We recommend that you sign up mid-term and enrol for P102 and P202 respectively.

I want to sign up but am unable to confirm the time slot as the school holiday schedule is not out. What should I do?

We understand the challenges you face in planning for your child's holiday schedule. Do sign up to secure a place and drop us an email at specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg. We will try our best to accommodate requests to change time slots, subject to availability.

What if a student misses a class? Is there a class replacement policy?

Unless absent for medical reasons, a communication lead time via email to specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg of at least a week is required prior to missing the class in order for arrangements for a replacement class to be made. We strongly recommend students to attend a physical replacement class within the week (i.e. Thursdays at United Square or Fridays at Seletar Mall). Otherwise, students will attend an online replacement class to make up for the lesson missed.
