Frequently asked questions
Why should my district teach computer science?
Computer science is foundational for all students. More than 90% of parents want schools to teach computer science and students rank CS as their third favorite subject behind the arts. Computing occupations are now the fastest-growing segment of all professions and the majority of all U.S. occupations now involve "moderately digital" skills. Students who study computer science perform better in other subjects, excel at problem-solving, and are more likely to attend college, according to recent research.

Can I become a Code.org District Partner if I'm outside the United States?
Currently the Code.org District Partner program is only available for districts in the United States. If you are interested in what is happening with computer science in your country, find your international Code.org partner.
Are Code.org's courses aligned to any standards?
Yes! Specifically, our courses were written using both the K-12 Framework for Computer Science and the 2017 CSTA standards. Additionally, CS Principles and CSA meet the AP Frameworks for each course. You can learn more about standards alignment for each course by visiting their specific course pages. Visit code.org/teach to learn more.
What qualifications or certifications does a teacher need to teach computer science?
The answer will vary by state — contact your Regional Partner for details specific to your state and district. You can also find an overview of state certification requirements here (click on the “Certification” tab near the top).
How much does it cost to offer computer science with Code.org?
All Code.org course materials are free — now and forever.
