CodeHS

CodeHS provides computer science courses and classroom tools for teachers, students, and schools, with offerings for K–12 education. Its catalog includes more than 100 customizable, standards-aligned courses covering computer science, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and digital literacy. The browser-based editor supports more than 10 languages, including Python, Java, JavaScript, and C++. Classroom tools include autograders, in-editor help, code history, and a blocks-to-text experience. The learning management system gives teachers views of class progress, assignment grading, and students’ coding process. CodeHS lists AI hints, AI grading, Ask AI, and Vibe Coding; its free-versus-Pro comparison places AI grading and hints among Pro features. The permanent Free teacher plan requires no credit card and has no per-student fees, but includes no downloads. Individual Learner All Access costs $99 per month or $990 per year. CodeHS says it is not an accredited school or online course provider, so individual learners do not receive official grades or academic credit upon completion.
