Just because AI-powered computers are getting really good at coding doesn’t mean humans don’t need the skill … It’s kind of like saying, should you learn to multiply, just because computers are really good at it.

Who is Code Ninja

Your child’s future will be shaped by technology — but success won’t come from just using it. It will come from understanding and creating with it.

At Code Ninja, we give kids more than coding skills — we help them think critically, solve problems creatively, and build the confidence to shape their own future.

Backed by syllabus experts from the National Institute of Education (Singapore), our world-class programme equips your child with skills for life — trusted by educators, loved by kids.

Our Vision

A future where every child creates with technology as naturally as they read and write.

Our Mission

To inspire every child to master coding — unlocking their creativity, confidence, and potential through a world-class curriculum

 

WHY CODE NINJA

(1) Expert Instructors & Small Class Size

Conventional Schools:

Large classes mean less personal attention and slower progress.

Code Ninja:

Our instructors are professional curriculum developers, trusted by top universities and schools across Asia. We design our own teaching materials, allowing us to customise every child’s journey.

With a 1:6 teacher-to-student ratio, your child gets the attention and mentorship they need to thrive.

 
Coding Classes for Kids

(2) From Real World-Problems to DSA Success

Conventional Schools:

Students are exposed to tech but rarely master it. Lessons prioritise breadth over depth, limiting real-world application.

Code Ninja:

Students master Scratch and Python to be able to apply their skills to solving real-world problems e.g. create Telegram bots, data mining & analytics, self driving car simulations & AI bots, app development with web services integration to name a few.

By Level 5, they reach the equivalent of a Year 1 Computer Science undergraduate. Many leverage their skills to secure placements via the Direct School Admissions (DSA) programme, gaining an early advantage.

 
Levels of Coding Challenges

(3) Customised learning experience

Conventional Schools:

Lessons are fixed modules and a one-size-fits-all pace. Students are grouped by age, not ability, leaving some kids overwhelmed and others under-challenged.

Code Ninja:

Every child follows a personalised path based on their interests, strengths, and confidence. Mini-projects keep learning engaging and relevant. Kids progress at their own speed — racing ahead when ready or taking more time when needed.

 
Coding Class Schedule

(4) Flexible class schedule

Conventional Schools:

Fixed timetables make it hard to balance school, holidays, and other activities.

Code Ninja:

Choose from our flexible pass system to suit your family’s schedule:

  • 4 passes → use within 6 weeks

  • 5 passes → use within 8 weeks

  • 10 passes → use within 4 months

  • 20 passes → use within 6 months

Kids attend as often as they like within the pass period — keeping learning consistent and stress-free.

 
Coding Course Progress

(5) Regular Student Progress Updates

Conventional Schools:

Progress updates are infrequent and lack detail.

Code Ninja:

Parents receive weekly passport updates on what their child has learned. Each update is benchmarked against our Code Ninja Learning Journey Roadmap, so you always know what’s mastered and what’s next.

Testimonials

My kids have been attending Code Ninja classes for the past few months. They enjoy the classes. One of the things that matter to me the most is, Code Ninja’s instructors are quite approachable. This quality of approachable instructors is important if you want your kids to be engaged. I had a bad experience with one of the popular coding institutes in Singapore after which my daughter refused to touch coding. It took lot of persuasion for me to get her to try coding again and now she enjoys her classes at Code Ninja. I also like the flexibility with the schedules when needed. Overall I am giving 5 stars!

Thank you for the passports updates. Andy shared with me that you have took time to run through his Python concepts. He was glad that your explanations have helped him have better understanding on the coding concepts taught. Alex told me that he is going to learn to code using Python in the next lesson. From his voice, I can feel his excitement and sense of achievement he had.  Once again, I would like to thank Code Ninja coaches in making their coding lessons fun and engaging them with exciting projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Code Ninja

  • Every child is unique. They have different personalities, different interests and learn differently. Some pick up coding quickly. Others prefer to learn at their own pace.

    That said, schools today continue to work largely on 1-size-fits-all model. Code Ninja was created to research this problem and offer parents an alternate way for kids to learn coding.

  • Code Ninja is a Singapore grown school founded in 2016 by Seow Jin Kiat. It is not a franchise nor related to “Code Ninjas”, a coding school of a similar name based in the USA.

  • Nope. However, we offer both on premise and online classes.

  • All our instructors are professional curriculum developers and have degrees (or higher) in Computer Science. For more on their profiles, “Meet the Team”.

  • The curriculum is designed around a Competency Based Learning System in which there are 5 Code Ninja Levels. Each level has a set of defined skills that we look out for and builds on top of each another to form a student’s foundation. This system is managed using the Code Ninja Passport we developed to record progress.

    At each level and for each skill, we have mini-projects for students to learn, practice and master. The mini-projects, for which we have hundreds, are specially designed to spark interest and support an inquiry-based learning.

    In short, we aim to:

    • Have fun and spark interest

    • Encourage practice

    • Develop competency and mastery

    Our goal for every student is to impart the core coding skills and confidence to become self-learners.

Curriculum & Classes

  • We don’t. Kids attending our classes want to have fun and we work hard to spark their interest in coding. Instead, during class, our instructors informally evaluate the skills of the students as they work on their projects. The Code Ninja Passport is used to record this progress.

  • On average, it takes a 12-year old with no prior coding experience between 24 to 36 months to complete all 5 levels. A student’s interest plays a big part in accelerating the learning journey. Projects are accessible online and we are encourage lots of practice (and fun!) at home.

  • Students of different levels can attend the same class. The learning experience is customised using mini-projects. In some situations, different projects are given to different students. In other situations, the same project is given to different students but with different expected learning outcomes depending on their skills and understanding.

  • Our maximum class size is 6.

  • Just 2 flavours. Scratch and Python.

  • Yes it can though we would start first with a Trial Class. We get lots of questions around the merits of using Scratch vs. going straight into Python. We believe Scratch is well suited to augment the learning process and ease the transition to a text code coding language such as Python. For more information, check out our “Scratch & Python comparison blog”.

  • We provide weekly passport updates on your child’s progress which is benchmarked against our Code Ninja Learning Journey Roadmap. The passport updates can be discussed with the instructor or your child to also get a better understanding of what is covered in class.

  • Our students are between the ages 9 to 16 (Primary 3 to Secondary 4). We have taken students who are younger but would start first with a Trial Class.

  • For on premise students, laptops for Level 1 to 4 students are provided. Level 5 students require their own laptops. For online students, any computer purchased in the last 5 years with a browser will do.

  • We offer private 1:1 online-only classes for students aged 9 to 16. Please contact us for further enquiries.

  • At Code Ninja, we believe that proficiency and mastery is achieved through consistent effort over time. Of course, many of our students start learning coding during school holidays and choose to continue during the school term.

Scheduling & Pricing

  • Regular classes can be purchased in packages of 4, 10 or 20. A package of 4 starts at S$278. You are free to utilise these as you deem fit. Come once a month, once a week, twice a week or even for back-to-back sessions!

  • Our Trial Classes are $57. They are identical to a regular class. Please call or drop us an email for more information or to arrange.

  • At Code Ninja, your children can join a class whenever there’s one scheduled! Most students find weekly classes optimal for their learning. Those who wish to progress faster can choose to attend classes more often. Students can also skip a class when they need to or make it up on a different day.

    Just think of Code Ninja as a gym where you can pop in whenever there’s a class to work on your coding prowess! There are no special registration fees and the classes in any of our packages can be used for any level from Ninja Level 1 to Ninja Level 5.

    Simple and flexible ☺

  • Absolutely! Just let us know 24 hours before class begins.

  • The Code Ninja syllabus is unique in that each class features a different mini project for the children to work on. Depending on the proficiency level of the child, each child will commence and make progress at his or her own pace with the help of the instructor. Since each class is designed to be complete on its own, your child may commence to start learning coding by picking the next suitable time slot for him or her.
