We pulled each course record from the Ontario curriculum content service on 22 October 2026; quoted words are the ministry’s, the summaries are ours. | Course | Grade and type | Needs first | In the ministry’s words, or our summary | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ICS3U Introduction to Computer Science | Grade 11, university | No prerequisite | “Students will design software independently and as part of a team” | | ICS4U Computer Science | Grade 12, university | ICS3U | “Students will use modular design principles to create complex and fully documented programs” | | MCR3U Functions | Grade 11, university | Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10, Academic | Our summary: the course that opens the senior math chain | | MHF4U Advanced Functions | Grade 12, university | MCR3U, or Mathematics for College Technology, Grade 12 | Our summary: the Grade 12 function course that university computing programs name | | MCV4U Calculus and Vectors | Grade 12, university | MHF4U, before or at the same time | The ministry says MHF4U “must be taken prior to or concurrently with” MCV4U | The two chains meet in university admission. The University of Waterloo’s computer science page, read on 22 October 2026, lists Advanced Functions, Calculus and Vectors, any Grade 12 U English and one other 4U course for Ontario applicants, and names Grade 11 U Introduction to Computer Science as recommended. In other words, a London student aiming at computing needs MHF4U and MCV4U, and ICS3U is the course that page encourages, not the one it demands. The ministry allows MCV4U to be taken at the same time as MHF4U, and a student who does that finds a weak function or a shaky limit costing marks in both. ### Before Grade 11: ICD2O Ontario’s current list also holds ICD2O, a 2023 open course for Grade 10 in which students apply coding concepts to hands-on projects and investigate artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. It is a gentle first look, not a prerequisite for ICS3U. ### The Grade 9 math test EQAO describes the Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics as an online test of 54 questions over two sessions, using a multi-stage computer adaptive model, and says the results are included in the student’s final course mark. The 2027 window is 12 January to 5 February 2027. ### Computer studies and the OSSD For students who began Grade 9 in 2024 or later, one compulsory credit must come from a STEM group that includes computer studies, so a computer studies course such as ICS3U can count toward that requirement as well as being an elective. ### Credit belongs to the school We teach alongside a London student’s school courses, and we do not grant Ontario credits. ICS3U, ICS4U, MHF4U and MCV4U credits are earned only through the school. We are not connected with the Ontario Ministry of Education, EQAO, the University of Waterloo or any London school board. London data project ## Were 203 London park amenities really built in 2021? A project on the city’s file The City of London publishes a Park Amenities file: soccer fields, ball diamonds, play structures, courts and more, each with an owner and a year built. Our students chart the years and find a spike that needs explaining. All counts below are ours. | Decade | Rows | Note from our analysis | | --- | --- | --- | | 1920s to 1950s | 9 in all (1, 1, 2, 5) | The oldest entry is 1927 | | 1960s | 27 | | | 1970s | 12 | | | 1980s | 13 | | | 1990s | 181 | 141 of them in 1996 alone | | 2000s | 279 | | | 2010s | 290 | | | 2020s | 262 | 203 of them carry the single year 2021 | This script prints the decade chart as rows of hash marks, then breaks down the 2021 rows by owner. Run it with Python 3 next to the downloaded CSV:`import csv from collections import Counter decades = Counter() by_owner_2021 = Counter() no_year = Counter() sizes = Counter() with open("park-amenities.csv", encoding="utf-8-sig") as f: for row in csv.DictReader(f): year = row["YearConstructed"].strip() owner = row["Owner"] or "(blank)" if year.isdigit(): decades[int(year) // 10 * 10] += 1 if year == "2021": by_owner_2021[owner] += 1 else: no_year[owner] += 1 if row["AmenityType"]: sizes[row["AmenityType"].lower()] += 1 for decade in sorted(decades): print(decade, "#" * (decades[decade] // 10), decades[decade]) print("built in 2021, by owner:", dict(by_owner_2021)) print("no year, by owner:", dict(no_year)) print("peewee after lower():", sizes["peewee"])` ### 1. Draw the decades A text histogram, one hash mark per ten rows, shows the shape at a glance: almost nothing before 1990, then a broad plateau. Then one year inside the plateau stands out, with 203 rows dated 2021. ### 2. Cross the spike with owner Split the 2021 rows by the Owner column and the spike changes character: 164 are school-owned, 32 city-owned and 7 private. Most are ball diamonds (124) and tennis courts (42). ### 3. Check the other side The file lists 276 school-owned rows in total. Every one is dated 2021 or has no year at all (112). Not a single school row carries any other year. ### What we think the spike means, and why it is only a guess Our reading, and it is ours, not the city’s: 2021 is probably the year school fields were added to the city’s records, not the year 164 diamonds and courts were built. The file cannot prove that. A good student writes “dated 2021 in this file” instead of “built in 2021”, and says why. The last line of the script teaches a smaller lesson. The AmenityType column spells one size as Peewee 25 times and as PeeWee once; lowercasing first gives the honest count of 26. For a stronger student, the next step is mapping the soccer fields (254 rows) and ball diamonds (194) with the X and Y columns, which hold projected map coordinates rather than latitude and longitude. The data comes from the City of London under its [Terms of Use for City of London open data](https://london.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/e31458fd0c7e41dd9f93144a9550781d/data), which allow use for any lawful purpose; the file is publicly available from the City under those terms ([dataset page](https://opendata.london.ca/datasets/716311972be047f39a5937247ed80a2c_1)). The City has not approved or endorsed this page or our classes. Contests for senior students ## The CCC and the Euclid: two Waterloo contests that matter in Grade 12 CEMC at the University of Waterloo runs both. Facts below come from CEMC’s contest pages, read on 22 October 2026. | Item | Junior | Senior | | --- | --- | --- | | Who it suits | Beginner to intermediate programmers | Intermediate to advanced programmers | | Format | 5 questions, 3 hours, score out of 75 | 5 questions, 3 hours, score out of 75 | | Opening questions | Basic loops and conditions | Sorting and searching | | Last question | Recursion, two-dimensional arrays, efficient algorithms | An IOI level question | | 2026 average score | 42.65 | 15.56 | The Senior average sitting near a fifth of the marks tells a London student something useful: the paper is meant to stretch even good programmers. CEMC lists the 2027 CCC for Wednesday 17 February 2027, and notes that with some language choices, Python or Java for example, a perfect score may not always be possible, which is why our Senior students learn to judge an algorithm’s speed before writing it. ICS4U students meet that same idea when the course asks for efficient, modular programs. ### Euclid, for Grade 12 math CEMC lists the Euclid for Tuesday 6 April 2027, for students in their final year of secondary school. Its full-solution questions reward the clear written reasoning MHF4U and MCV4U ask for. ### Scholarships, not admission Waterloo’s computer science page says a contest such as the Euclid is not required for admission, but is required for some Faculty of Mathematics scholarships. Its Admission Information Form, due 15 February 2027, asks about Waterloo contests written. ### Only through a school CEMC does not take entries from individual students; a London student writes through their own school, or through another local school that agrees to host them. We prepare students with problems we write ourselves and point them to CEMC’s [free past contests](https://cemc.uwaterloo.ca/resources/past-contests) for the real thing; we never reproduce CEMC questions or solutions. For deeper reading see [the CCC Senior guide](/ccc-senior-guide), [MHF4U help](/mhf4u-advanced-functions-tutor) and [MCV4U help](/mcv4u-calculus-and-vectors-tutor). Modern Age Coders is independent of CEMC and of the University of Waterloo. Class times ## Eastern time in London, Ontario, and where that falls in India London keeps the same Eastern clock as Toronto. Our teachers work from India, which does not change its clocks, so the gap is an hour wider in winter. | Period | London offset | Gap to India | 6:30 pm weekday in London | 10 am Sunday in London | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | To 1 November 2026, and again from 14 March 2027 | UTC-4 | 9 hours 30 minutes | 4:00 am, following day | 7:30 pm | | 1 November 2026 to 14 March 2027 | UTC-5 | 10 hours 30 minutes | 5:00 am, following day | 8:30 pm | ### Exam season and contest days We plan around the EQAO window, the February CCC and June exams, and lighten homework-heavy weeks when a family asks. The class time itself stays fixed unless you move it. ### London area codes Numbers in the London area use 519, 226, 548 or 382. Type the ten digits into the form; the +1 for Canada is already set. ### One reminder per clock change Before Ontario falls back on 1 November 2026 and springs forward on 14 March 2027, we send each London family a short note with its class times restated in Eastern time. Learning ladder ## From a first program at 6 to MCV4U and ICS4U The grades are a rough guide; the free lesson places each student by what they can already do. Ages 6 to 9 ### Blocks and puzzles Visual coding, sequences and loops, with the child explaining the plan before running it. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Ages 9 to 13 ### First typed code Python with conditions, functions and small games, plus a first, careful look at how AI learns. [Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)[AI Literacy for Kids (Ages 8 to 14)](/courses/ai-literacy-for-kids-course)Grades 9 and 10 ### Python and contests Real Python, data files such as the London one above, and a first try at the CCC Junior. [Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)[CCC Junior and Senior Preparation (Canadian Computing Competition)](/courses/ccc-junior-and-senior-preparation-course)Grades 11 and 12 ### Both chains Support beside ICS3U and ICS4U and beside MHF4U and MCV4U, with no credit granted by us. [Ontario Computer Science Companion](/courses/ics3u-ics4u-computer-science-companion-course)[Ontario Grade 12 University Math](/courses/ontario-grade-12-university-math-mhf4u-mcv4u-course)Coding and AI ## Will AI make ICS3U pointless for a London teen? No. It makes understanding the code more valuable, not less. Give an AI assistant the London amenities file and ask how many were built each year, and it may well plot 2021 as a building boom. The tool did the counting correctly and the interpretation wrongly. Spotting that the spike is almost all school rows, and that school rows have no other year, is a human judgment that comes from writing the cross-tab yourself. That is how we teach: reason through the problem, write the code, then challenge the result. Teens meet AI tools as part of the work, within each tool’s age rules, and use them to explain and check rather than to produce what they hand in. ICS4U asks for programs that are fully documented, and documenting code well means understanding every line of it. The longer argument is in [why understanding beats generating, in our longer essay](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## How online classes run for London, Ontario families Everything happens on a home computer, so a student in north London and one in the south end share one teacher with no driving. ### 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. ### Ontario course codes Teachers plan in Ontario grades and course codes and know where ICS3U units, MHF4U tests and the Grade 9 EQAO fall. Marked school work stays the student’s own. ### Class or private A class of 15 to 20 students at one stage, or one to one for faster progress, contest work or a hard term in MCV4U. ### Nearby towns too Students elsewhere in southwestern Ontario join exactly the same classes; nothing depends on where in the region a family lives. ### Equipment A laptop or desktop with a headset and a stable connection. Senior students install Python and an editor in the first lesson, with the teacher watching the screen. ### Free first lesson A real lesson, ending with a recommended course and time. We ask for no payment details at this stage. Online only Modern Age Coders has no London, Ontario office or classroom. Every lesson is taught live online from India, in English. Fees ## What London, Ontario families pay Three options, priced in the currency your browser shows. First class**Free** One complete live lesson, free, finishing with a suggested level and course. Group tuition**$140 CAD** The monthly fee for a class of 15 to 20 students at the same stage. Private tuition**$210 CAD** The monthly fee for a private teacher, at times that suit the student. The monthly fee in London is the same as anywhere else in Canada. Billing begins only after the free lesson and once a course and time are agreed; the pricing page explains missed classes and holidays.

FAQ ## London, Ontario coding and AI questions The questions London families send us most often. ### Do you offer coding classes in London, Ontario? Yes, taught live over video rather than in a local centre. Students from age 6 join from home, in a class of 15 to 20 or one to one. ### Can you help with ICS3U or ICS4U? Yes. Our companion course runs beside the school course with practice, code review and projects in Python and Java. We do not grant Ontario credits; the credit is earned at school. ### Do you tutor MHF4U and MCV4U for London students? Yes. Our Grade 12 university math course covers Advanced Functions and Calculus and Vectors alongside school. Ontario lists MHF4U as needed before or at the same time as MCV4U, and we plan lessons in that order. ### Does a London student need ICS3U for a computer science degree? Not always. The University of Waterloo computer science page lists MHF4U and MCV4U as requirements and ICS3U as recommended. Each university sets its own rules, so check its admission page. ### What is the Grade 9 EQAO math test like? EQAO describes it as an online, adaptive test of 54 questions in two sessions, with results included in the final course mark. The 2027 window is 12 January to 5 February 2027. ### Can my teen write the CCC from London? Yes, through a school, since CEMC does not accept individual entries. CEMC lists the 2027 CCC for Wednesday 17 February 2027, at Junior or Senior level. ### What age can children start coding classes in London, Ontario? From 6, with block coding. Most move to typed Python between 9 and 11, and adults are welcome at any age. ### When are classes held? 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 always confirmed in Eastern time. ### Will a 519 or 226 number work in the form? Yes. London-area numbers with 519, 226, 548 or 382 all work; enter the ten digits without the leading 1. ### Where can I see the fees? In the fees block on this page: the free trial lesson, the monthly class fee and the monthly private fee, each in your own currency. No charge is made before the trial.
