Coding Classes in Quebec | Live Online, in English, Ages 6+

Course picks for Quebec

Four courses Quebec families start with

Chosen by age and by what the Québec Education Program leaves to the teacher, then confirmed in a free first lesson.

Python and AI for Kids

Typed Python for children ready to leave blocks behind: loops, conditions, small games and the simulations that elementary math only suggests.

See the syllabus

Elementary 5 to Secondary III

Maths Through Coding

Fractions, probability and patterns worked out in Python, so the random experiment the math program mentions becomes a program the student wrote.

See the syllabus

Secondary I to V

Python for Teens

Python taken all the way, through functions, files and real data sets, the base for the municipal register project on this page and for every later course.

See the syllabus

Secondary III to CÉGEP

CCC Junior and Senior Preparation (Canadian Computing Competition)

For contest-minded students: original problems in the style of the Canadian Computing Competition, which CEMC offers in English and French.

Computing in Quebec schools

Where coding sits in the Québec Education Program

The Québec Education Program (QEP) covers Elementary 1 to Elementary 6 and Secondary I to Secondary V. We read its English documents on Québec.ca on 22 October 2026. Wording inside quotation marks comes from the ministry; every summary is our own.

Computing in the QEP and the 2026 Digital Competency Framework, by document. Quotes from the Ministère de l'Éducation; the right-hand column is our reading
Document	What it says	What it means for a student
Cross-curricular competencies, elementary	Competency 6 is “To use information and communications technologies (ICT)”, including “To identify the limitations of the technology employed in a given situation.”	Every subject is meant to use technology, and children are asked to judge it, not only operate it
Elementary Mathematics	“The use of information and communications technologies is compulsory, but it is up to the teacher to choose the activities involving ICT.”	Some use of ICT is required; whether that means programming is the teacher's choice
Elementary Mathematics, ICT suggestions	“Learning to do a computer simulation of a random experiment”	A probability simulation is named in the program, which is a natural first program for a ten-year-old
Elementary Science and Technology	Essential knowledge includes “Servomechanism and robots”; the ICT list adds “Robotics and automation”	Robots appear as a topic to understand, with automation suggested as an ICT activity
Cross-curricular competencies, Secondary Cycle Two	“Problem solving is not a linear process that can be reduced to the application of an algorithm.”	The program wants students to define the problem first, which is exactly where beginners in programming struggle
Digital Competency Framework 2026	Dimension 2 “also incorporates computer science and concepts related to AI”; one element reads “Develop or adapt a digital tool using one's knowledge and skills in computer programming.”	Programming and AI are named outright, as part of one digital competency rather than a separate course

Read together, the documents point the same way: technology belongs in every subject, a child should be able to say when a tool is the wrong one, and programming is part of what a digitally competent person can do. What they do not create is a course with hours set aside for it. The secondary subject list on Québec.ca groups Mathematics with the science and technology programs, and the computer science programs a Quebec student meets by name are college programs, which we cover on our CEGEP computer science page.

One competency, 12 dimensions

The Ministère de l'Éducation published the Digital Competency Framework 2026 as an update of its 2019 framework. It is still organized into 12 dimensions, and the ministry says it applies from preschool through higher education, with AI treated as part of digital technology rather than a topic apart.

Programming in its themes

Among the sample themes for Dimension 2, the framework lists computational thinking, computer programming, AI literacy, machine learning and “No-code, low-code, or natural language programming”. Elsewhere it names algorithmic bias, the idea that a model can inherit the slant of its training data.

Math options come later

In Secondary IV and V, students choose among three math options. That choice matters for CÉGEP and for computer science later, and we explain it on our Secondary IV options page and our Secondary V math page.

The framework's source line asks readers to cite it as the Ministère de l'Éducation's Digital Competency Framework 2026, and we quote it only in short phrases for that reason. For a parent, the practical reading is simpler: Quebec expects children to become competent, critical users and makers of digital tools, and it leaves most of the making to whatever time a teacher can find. A live class gives that making a fixed hour each week and a teacher who reads the student's code line by line.

Beside school, never instead of it

Our classes run next to the QEP, and we do not grant Quebec credits, a diploma or a report card mark. We are not connected with the Ministère de l'Éducation, any school service centre or school board, or CEMC. Our classes are taught in English.

Quebec data project

Which region has the most municipalities? A project on the province's register

The Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation publishes the Répertoire des municipalités du Québec on Données Québec, refreshed daily. Our students download one file from it and answer questions with Python. Every count below is ours.

Our count of MUN.csv from the Répertoire des municipalités du Québec, downloaded 22 October 2026: rows per administrative region (1,281 rows in all, 17 regions). Region names exactly as the file writes them
Administrative region (regadm)	Rows
Montérégie	150
Chaudière-Appalaches	136
Bas-Saint-Laurent	127
Estrie	117
Laurentides	88
Centre-du-Québec	80
Abitibi-Témiscamingue	76
Outaouais	75
Lanaudière	70
Capitale-Nationale	69
Nord-du-Québec	61
Saguenay--Lac-Saint-Jean	59
Gaspésie--Îles-de-la-Madeleine	54
Côte-Nord	53
Mauricie	49
Montréal	16
Laval	1

This is the script that produced the table. It needs only Python 3 and the downloaded file in the same folder:import csv regions = {} dated = [] blank = 0 with open("MUN.csv", encoding="utf-8-sig") as f: for row in csv.DictReader(f): name, code = row["regadm"].rsplit(" (", 1) regions[name] = regions.get(name, 0) + 1 if row["mdatcons"]: year, month, day = row["mdatcons"].split("-") dated.append((int(year), int(month), int(day), row["munnom"])) else: blank += 1 for name, count in sorted(regions.items(), key=lambda p: p[1], reverse=True): print(count, name) dated.sort() print("oldest", dated[0]) print("newest", dated[-1]) print("no date", blank)

1. Split the label

Each region arrives as a name followed by its code in brackets, such as Montérégie (16). Splitting once from the right on the space and opening bracket keeps hyphenated names intact. The file joins double names with two hyphens, as in Saguenay--Lac-Saint-Jean, so splitting on a single hyphen would break them.

2. Parse the dates

The mdatcons column holds a constitution date as year, month and day. Turning each part into a number and storing a tuple lets Python sort the rows by date with one call. On our download 57 rows had no date, so the script counts blanks instead of crashing on them.

3. Read the extremes

Sorted, the earliest date in the file is 30 March 1846, recorded for La Prairie, and the latest is 1 January 2026, for Hébertville. Of the dated rows, 389 fall before 1900 and 160 fall in 2000 or later. Those are our counts of one column, not a history of the towns.

What the file cannot tell you

A row is a municipal organisation, not a measure of size or importance, so 150 rows for Montérégie and one for Laval says nothing about how many people live in either. A 2026 date usually marks a change of status or a merger rather than a new place, and the same dataset publishes a separate list of annexations and regroupings where a careful student checks.

The designation column gives a second exercise: on our download it held 15 labels, led by Municipalité with 651 rows, Ville with 234, Paroisse with 128 and Territoire non organisé with 105. We leave the population and elected-officials columns out of every lesson on purpose.

Contests from Quebec

CEMC contests a Quebec student can write in 2026 to 2027

Most school math and computing contests in Canada come from CEMC, the University of Waterloo's Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing, and schools order them for their students. A few details matter more in Quebec than elsewhere: language, and the place of CÉGEP. Dates are CEMC's, read on 22 October 2026.

CEMC contests with a Quebec angle, 2026 to 2027 (eligibility and dates as CEMC lists them)
Contest	Who CEMC says may write it	Language	CEMC date
Beaver Computing Challenge	Three levels up to Grade 10; no programming needed	English only	9 to 20 November 2026
Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest (CSMC)	“Students in Grades 11 and 12 and CÉGEP students”	English and French	Wednesday 18 November 2026
Canadian Computing Competition (CCC)	Junior or Senior, chosen by programming skill	English and French	Wednesday 17 February 2027
Euclid Mathematics Contest	“Students in their final year of secondary school or CÉGEP students”	English and French	Tuesday 6 April 2027
Gauss Mathematics Contests	Students in Grades 7 and 8, the age of Secondary I and II	English and French	10 to 21 May 2027

The CCC in French or English

CEMC states that the CCC is available in English and French, so a student at a French-language school can write the problems in French. CEMC lists the 2027 CCC for Wednesday 17 February 2027, written at school, online and individually, in C, C++, Python or Java.

CÉGEP students count

Quebec's school ladder ends at Secondary V, and CEMC writes CÉGEP into its rules: the CSMC is open to Grades 11 and 12 and CÉGEP students, and the Euclid to final-year secondary or CÉGEP students. A first-year CÉGEP student is not too old for either.

Through an institution

Individual registration is not possible: CEMC requires every participant to write through a school. A Quebec student whose own school does not order a contest can ask another nearby school to host them, which CEMC itself suggests.

Of the contests in the table, only the Beaver Computing Challenge is offered in English only, and CEMC lists its team contest, the CTMC, the same way; a French-language school will weigh that before ordering. For practice, ten years of past papers sit on CEMC's site at no cost and without an account, and we send students to the CEMC archive while teaching from original problems we write ourselves. Our CCC preparation page covers the two CCC levels, the Euclid page the senior math contest, and the contest calendar every date in one place. Modern Age Coders has no link to CEMC or to the University of Waterloo.

Time, language and phones

Quebec clocks in 2026 to 2027, and the one corner that never changes

Most of Quebec keeps Eastern time and changes clocks twice a year. Our teachers are in India, which never changes. The table shows how a Saturday class and a weekday class line up; the conversions are ours.

How Quebec clocks line up with India through the 2026 to 2027 school year. Offsets: IANA tz database, release 2026e. The example times and the conversions are ours, not fixed class times
Where and when	Offset	A 10 am Saturday class is, in India	A 5 pm weekday class is, in India
Most of Quebec, to 1 November 2026	UTC-4	7:30 pm Saturday	2:30 am the next day
Most of Quebec, 1 November 2026 to 14 March 2027	UTC-5	8:30 pm Saturday	3:30 am the next day
Most of Quebec, from 14 March 2027	UTC-4	7:30 pm Saturday	2:30 am the next day
Blanc-Sablon area, all year	UTC-4, no change	7:30 pm Saturday	2:30 am the next day

The Blanc-Sablon exception

The time zone database files the Blanc-Sablon area on the Lower North Shore under a zone that stays at UTC-4 all year, an hour ahead of Montréal in winter and level with it in summer. Families there tell us their town and we schedule on its clock.

A new area code in 2027

Quebec numbers use the 263, 354, 367, 418, 438, 450, 468, 514, 579, 581, 819 and 873 area codes, and all work in our form. The CRTC has also approved area code 273 for the 367, 418 and 581 region, effective 27 February 2027.

French, English and our classes

The Charter of the French language opens with “French is the official language of Québec.” Our classes are in English. Programming keywords are English words in every school system, so a student at a French-language school writes the same code; our teachers allow time for the vocabulary around it.

From Elementary 1 to CÉGEP

A coding path that follows the Quebec school ladder

Quebec counts school years differently from the rest of Canada, so we plan in its own terms. Treat any age here as approximate; a student's starting point is settled in the free class.

Our plan for a Quebec student, matched to the stages of the QEP (our recommendation, not a ministry document)
Stage	What school asks	What we add in a live class
Elementary 1 to 3	Use ICT in class; judge when a tool does not fit the task	Block coding with stories and puzzles the child explains aloud
Elementary 4 to 6	Math with ICT, including simulating a random experiment; robots as a science topic	Typed Python, a dice or coin simulation the child writes, then a first game
Secondary I to III	ICT across subjects; problem solving that starts by defining the problem	Functions, files and data, and the habit of writing the problem down before the code
Secondary IV and V	A math option chosen for CÉGEP; the digital framework's programming element	Bigger projects, machine learning with checked data, and CCC or Euclid preparation
CÉGEP and adult	College programs, including computer science	Support beside college programming courses, or a fresh start for adults

One worked example from our Elementary 5 classes shows the method. The math program suggests a computer simulation of a random experiment, so the child first predicts how often two dice add up to 7, then writes a loop that rolls them ten thousand times and compares. A first guess is often off, and working out why the loop disagrees is the real lesson. This example is ours, written for our classes, not taken from a ministry document.

Coding and AI

Quebec's framework treats AI as part of digital technology. So do we

Being competent with AI means knowing what it is doing, and that starts with writing programs yourself.

The 2026 framework puts AI inside digital technology instead of beside it, and it lists algorithmic bias next to machine learning among its themes. A student who has trained even a small model on data they cleaned can see where bias enters; a student who has only typed prompts usually cannot. That is the gap we teach into.

Our students write the loop before they ask a tool to write it, then they check the tool's answer against their own. Teens meet AI tools under the age rules each tool sets, with a parent's permission where a tool requires it. Younger children learn how AI works through their own simple programs, without being handed tools meant for adults.

The QEP asks children to identify the limitations of the technology in front of them; the surest way to learn that is to build some of it. The longer argument is in is coding still worth learning in 2026.

Delivery

Live online across Quebec, from Gatineau to Gaspé

Every class is live with a teacher, so a student in the Outaouais and one in the Bas-Saint-Laurent join the same lesson from home.

When classes run

Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays.

Across the province

A student in Montréal, Laval, Québec City, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières or Saguenay can join the same class, all on Eastern time apart from the Blanc-Sablon area.

Group or one to one

A shared group of fifteen to twenty learners working at one stage, or a teacher of your own when a student needs to move faster or slower.

Quebec school stages

Teachers plan in Elementary and Secondary years, not in Grades, and know when Secondary IV option choices and CÉGEP applications fall in the year.

In English

Lessons are taught in English. Students from French-language schools are welcome; we slow down on new vocabulary and keep the code itself unchanged.

Start free

The first class is a full lesson that ends with a suggested stage, course and time. Nothing is charged for it.

No Quebec office

Modern Age Coders has no centre anywhere in Quebec and does not claim one. Our teachers work from India over a live video link; on the student's side, a laptop or desktop with a microphone, speakers and a reliable internet connection is enough.

Fees

What classes cost for Quebec families

Each line shows its own currency beside the figure, so nothing needs converting.

First classFree

A complete live lesson at no charge, closing with a recommended stage, course and class time.

Group tuition$140 CAD

The monthly fee for a place in a batch of fifteen to twenty learners at the same stage.

Private tuition$210 CAD

The monthly fee for a teacher working with one student, at agreed times.

A family in Quebec pays the same monthly fee as a family anywhere in Canada. Billing begins only once the free lesson is done and the course and time are settled; the pricing page explains missed classes and holidays.

FAQ

Quebec coding questions

What Quebec parents and students ask us most.

Do you offer coding classes in Quebec?

Yes, online and live. There is no Modern Age Coders building in Quebec: a student logs in from home to a lesson led by a teacher, either one to one or in a group of fifteen to twenty.

Are the classes in English or in French?

In English. Students from French-language schools are welcome, and teachers give extra time to new vocabulary. Code keywords are English in every school system, so the programs themselves look the same.

Where does coding appear in the Quebec Education Program?

Across subjects rather than in one course. The QEP has a cross-curricular competency for using information and communications technologies, elementary math and science suggest ICT activities, and the Digital Competency Framework 2026 names computer programming and AI.

What is the Digital Competency Framework 2026?

A Ministère de l'Éducation document that describes one digital competency in 12 dimensions, from preschool through higher education. Its second dimension includes computer science and AI concepts, and one element is developing or adapting a digital tool with programming skills.

Can a Quebec student write the Canadian Computing Competition?

Yes, through a school. CEMC offers the CCC in English and French and lists the 2027 contest for Wednesday 17 February 2027. Students cannot register on their own.

Can CEGEP students enter Waterloo math contests?

Some of them. CEMC opens the Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest to Grades 11 and 12 and CEGEP students, and the Euclid contest to students in their final year of secondary school or at CEGEP.

Do your classes count toward a Quebec diploma?

No. We do not grant Quebec credits, diplomas or report card marks. Our classes run alongside school and build skills; school marks stay the school's.

What time are classes for Quebec families?

Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays. Times are confirmed on Eastern time, or on Blanc-Sablon time for families there.

Will my Quebec phone number work in the form?

Yes. Numbers with any Quebec area code work, including 418, 438, 450, 514, 581 and 819. Type the number as ten digits, since the form supplies the +1.

What age can my child start?

From about age 6, in Elementary 1, with block coding. Typed Python usually starts around Elementary 4 or 5, and adults are welcome too.

Can you help with the Secondary IV math option choice?

Yes, as math tutoring alongside school. Our Secondary IV page explains the three options and what each leads to; the school decides the placement.

Where are the fees?

Scroll to the fees block above the reviews. It lists three things: the free trial lesson, what a group place costs per month and what one-to-one teaching costs per month. Nothing is charged before the trial lesson is over.
