FAQ

Questions parents actually ask.

What ages is Abovecodes for?+

Students 7 to 18, across six pathway levels mapped to real school grades: Explorer (7-8), Creator (9-10), Builder (11-12), Innovator (13-14), Mentor (15-16), and Pathfinder (17-18).

What does my child actually learn and build?+

Real projects, not worksheets — every level ties to a portfolio-ready artifact: a working app, game, or website by the Builder level, up through a career-track capstone at Pathfinder. Students learn, build, launch, showcase, and reflect on each project, with an AI Tutor guiding (not doing) the work.

Do you teach Math, or just coding?+

Both. Alongside the coding curriculum, there's a full Math Track at every level — from shapes and patterns at Explorer through financial math and statistics at Pathfinder — taught through the same real-project approach.

What's the difference between self-paced and a classroom?+

Self-paced means your child works through a track independently on their own schedule, with the AI Tutor as their main guide. A classroom is led by a teacher, with assignments, feedback, and a group of classmates. Both follow the same underlying curriculum and pathway levels.

Is the AI Tutor safe for kids?+

The AI Tutor is built to guide learning, not to do a student's work for them or act as an open-ended chatbot. Messages are checked for safety and for whether they're on-topic before a full response is generated, and anything concerning is flagged for human review rather than handled by AI alone. Parents can see their child's tutor activity from their own dashboard.

Can I add more than one child to my account?+

Yes — link as many children as you have, each with their own account, progress, and subscription. A second (and any additional) child's subscription automatically qualifies for a family discount at checkout.

Can I pause instead of canceling?+

Yes, for up to 90 days at a time, from your billing page. This is useful for school breaks or a temporary gap without losing your child's progress or restarting onboarding.

How much does it cost?+

Pricing depends on the plan and track you choose — see current pricing on the signup page, or your own billing page if you're already a parent on the platform.

What do we need to get started?+

Just a computer with a modern web browser and an internet connection — no special software or accounts to install ahead of time.
