Why take a Computer Science Course?
In today's world, Computer science courses provide an essential foundation; not only for careers in technology, but for every career. Studies now show that students who learn computer science outperform in school, university, and beyond.
At a time when every industry is impacted by digital technology, our schools should teach every student how technology works, to learn to be creators, not just consumers.
Studies show: children who study computer science perform better in other subjects, excel at problem-solving, and are 17% more likely to attend college.
Computer programming improves students’ creativity, math and reasoning skills
In primary school: better performance in reading, math, and science
In secondary school: better scores on standardized AP exams
Better performance at problem-solving, from primary school to university
Computer Science prepares students for careers in government, law, and the corporate sector, and for graduate study.
Computing occupations are now the fastest-growing, and largest segment of all professions, spanning all industries.
What if your school does not offer computer science?
If you are a parent, encourage your child to learn at home. Register for remote learning, or take an in-person course in one of our operators. Find all the information about or Computer Science courses here and choose your preferred learning delivery method. If you are an educator, does your school offer computer science? If it does not, you can help bring computer science to your school, or expand the offerings. Become a partner or check out our learning centres and how to become one.
