Reach aligns its programs to state and national K-12 standards for CS content and practice.

“When I first saw what class I was enrolled in this summer, my first thought was 'What in the world is coding?' and 'Why do I need to learn about Computer Science?' I have throughly enjoyed this class and I am so grateful that I was enrolled in CS because I have learned an incredible amount of things that I did not know before and that will only make me a better teacher.”
