Our approach

How students learn at C0deEX

  • Small classes. Groups of at most 6 students, so every student is seen and heard.
  • Placement before enrollment. A short assessment puts each student at the right level, not just the right grade.
  • Instructors who know their subject. Graduate degrees in chemistry and computer science, a licensed CS teacher, and competition experience up to USACO Platinum.
