Homeschool Computer Science Curriculum

Rex K-12’s standards-based homeschool computer science curriculum gives your child everything they need to code at home.

Founded by a Parent

Rex K-12 started as a homeschool program, so we know what kids love, and what parents need.

History
Data Visualization Game Development

Rex k-12 was founded in 2015 by Sandhya (Sandy) Padala

She faced the same problem as millions of parents—she couldn’t find a good computer science program for her children.

Her nine-year-old son said, “I want to learn to make video games!” But his school didn’t teach computer science—not surprising since in 2017 only 32 computer science teachers graduated nationwide.

So she started teaching her son on her own. Then his friends joined. Next, his school asked, “Can you teach computer science summer camps?” 

She said yes and soon Rex went from 2 camps to 45! But, not all parents could afford the camps. 

Sandhya grew up impoverished, in a 300 square-foot home in India with a family of five. Computer science changed her life. She wants to give all children the chance to succeed. So she created Rex K-12.

Students have already spent more than 500,000 hours on our platform. We took a computer science class in Texas with a pass rate of just 70% all the way up to 100% on the Advanced Placement Computer Science exam. Our remote teachers helped many schools solve their teacher shortage crisis. And 95% of the students we’ve tracked went on to major in Computer Science.

The Homeschool Program Young Coders Will Love

Rex K-12’s platform makes computer science fun for any age. It’s designed to help all students feel excited about coding—not just the boys and computer geeks.

Real Projects

The Rex K-12 computer science curriculum is based around real-life projects. Students create mobile apps, games, websites, graphic designs, and more.

Instant Feedback

Students learn best when they get feedback in realtime. With a built-in compiler, students get instant feedback and correct their code as they go via a system that verifies their code as they progress.

Immersive and Personalized

Some students dream of making video games. Others want to become YouTubers. Some love Roblox and Minecraft. The Rex learning platform and course content pathways are adaptable to a variety of learning styles and customizable to different students’ interests.

Gamified

Passively watching videos… yawn! Rex K-12 is interactive and gives students realtime feedback as they progress — just like a videogame.
