Why CodeUp Tokyo
The world is changing faster than school can keep up
Technology is transforming the world at an accelerating pace. So how do we approach education when we don’t know what the world will look like in ten years? The truth is, unless you’re actively preparing your children for the future, they risk being left behind without basic technological skills.
Working with technology is no longer a specialization. It’s a basic literacy.
That literacy has to be woven through a child’s entire education. The problem is that most schools are behind the curve, and the rest are barely keeping up. That’s why we created CodeUp Tokyo.
We don’t just run the same lesson plans year after year. We’re always evaluating new technologies and teaching methods, so our students get the most future-focused computer science foundation possible.

Frequently asked questions
The online and at-home classes are both private individual lessons. We may offer a group class in the future online or when our Shinagawa location is open.
Not at all. Most students start from zero, and each session is tailored to each student’s experience, interests, and aptitude.
Not at all. Logical thinking, creativity, and programming are all areas that transcend any particular language. We teach in an English context because that is the default language for global technology. Our instructors have Japanese proficiency and modern translation tools ready to support students no matter what language they are most comfortable with.
We teach anywhere from 6 years old to university students.
