Now taking names for September
Where children learn to love the work
A village primary for ages four to eleven. Two classes a year group, a forest school on Fridays, and a door that is always open to parents.
Why study here
Teaching built around people, not playlists
Three things we decided not to compromise on.
Taught live, online
Every class is a scheduled session with a tutor, not a video you watch alone. Recordings stay available for the whole term.
A certificate that is checked
Assessed coursework, marked by the person who taught you, and a certificate employers can verify.
Cohorts of sixteen
Small enough to ask a question and get an answer in the same session, and to know the people you are studying with.

Student stories
What finishing it was worth
★★★★★
The cohort was the thing I did not expect. Four of us still review each other’s work every month, two years after the course finished.
Rosa Lindqvist
Product designer, Helsinki
★★★★★
I came in able to write a little JavaScript and left able to ship. The assessment was harder than the interview I passed a month later.
Michael Chen
Front-end developer, Toronto
★★★★★
Sixteen people means you cannot hide, which is exactly why it worked. My tutor knew which bit I was stuck on before I said so.
Amara Diallo
Data analyst, Dakar

Questions
Before you enrol
Do I need experience to start?
For the beginner courses, none at all. Anything marked intermediate lists what it assumes at the top of the syllabus, and the fifteen-minute conversation before you enrol exists to check that honestly.
How much time does a course take?
One live session a week, ninety minutes, plus about three hours of coursework. Sessions are recorded, so missing one is recoverable.
What happens if I have to stop?
You keep your place in the next run of the same course at no extra cost, once. Beyond that we refund the remaining weeks.
Is the certificate worth anything?
It is assessed and verifiable, which is more than most online certificates. It is not a degree, and we do not pretend otherwise.
Can my employer pay?
Yes — we invoice directly and can provide the paperwork most training budgets need. Ask for it when you enrol.
The spring term starts on 14 April
Places are allocated when the fee is confirmed. Most courses fill four to six weeks out.
