We read the English version on 22 October 2026; the quotations are Quebec's, and the link to coding in the right-hand column is ours. | Option | In Quebec's description | The coding habit it matches | | --- | --- | --- | | Cultural, Social and Technical (CST) | It involves “a greater use of statistics and discrete mathematics” | Counting, sorting and summarising data, the daily work of a programmer with a spreadsheet or a file | | Technical and Scientific (TS) | It builds the ability to “identify errors and anomalies in processes or solutions” | Debugging: finding the step where a process went wrong and fixing it | | Science (S) | Students “develop formal proofs” where there is a need to confirm a truth | Testing and reasoning about code until you can say why it is correct, not only that it ran | Quebec adds that all of these options allow students to enroll in a pre-university program, and the program even has an appendix on bridges between options. So the choice is not a locked door. It is a choice of emphasis, and a term of programming is a practical way for a Secondary III student to discover which emphasis suits them before the timetable fixes it. Our [guide to the Secondary 4 options](/quebec-secondary-4-math-cst-ts-science) goes into the choice itself, and [Secondary 5 math help](/quebec-secondary-5-math-tutor) covers the year after. ### After Secondary V A student who goes on to a CEGEP receives, at the end of a college program, a Diploma of College Studies (DCS), in the words of quebec.ca. A CEGEP learner joins our adult-paced groups, not a teen class. ### For CEGEP computing Students thinking about a computing program at college can read our page on [CEGEP computer science preparation](/cegep-computer-science-preparation), which covers the step from secondary math to a first college programming course. ### A word on language Under Quebec's Charter of the French language, French is the official language of the province. Our classes are taught entirely in English, which we state here so families can decide with the facts in front of them. ### Alongside school, not part of it We teach alongside a student's school or CEGEP courses and we do not grant Quebec credits, diplomas or option placements. We are not connected with the Ministère de l'Éducation, any school service centre, any CEGEP or the Ville de Québec. Quebec City data project ## Which trees are the biggest? Group the measurements first The Ville de Québec publishes, through the Données Québec portal, an inventory of trees on its territory that it considers potentially remarkable. It is short enough for a beginner and tricky enough to teach a real lesson. All figures below are ours, from the file downloaded on 22 October 2026. | POSITION_MESURE code | Trees | Median DIAMETRE | Rows with DIAMETRE 0 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | DHP | 592 | 79 | 3 | | M | 65 | 86 | 0 | | DHS | 27 | 85 | 0 | A beginner sorts the whole file by DIAMETRE and announces the biggest tree. The file will not allow that so quickly. Each diameter comes with a code saying where on the tree it was measured, and three different codes are in use, so a number from one group is not directly comparable with a number from another. The program below groups the diameters by that code before taking any median, counts the species and checks who owns the land. It uses Python's built-in csv and statistics modules and expects the CSV next to the script:`import csv import statistics by_position = {} species = {} private = 0 with open("vdq-arbrepotentielremarquable.csv", encoding="utf-8-sig") as trees: for row in csv.DictReader(trees): by_position.setdefault(row["POSITION_MESURE"], []).append(int(row["DIAMETRE"])) species[row["NOM_LATIN"]] = species.get(row["NOM_LATIN"], 0) + 1 if row["TYPE_PROP"].startswith("Priv"): private += 1 for position, values in by_position.items(): print(position, len(values), "median", statistics.median(values), "zeros", values.count(0)) top = max(species, key=species.get) print(len(species), "species; most common", top, species[top]) print("TYPE_PROP starting Priv:", private)` ### 1. Group before you summarise Putting every DIAMETRE into one list would mix three measuring methods. A dictionary of lists, keyed by POSITION_MESURE, keeps them apart, and the medians, 79, 86 and 85, are then reported per group, never as one figure. ### 2. Prefer the median Three DHP rows record a diameter of 0, which is almost certainly a missing value rather than a tree. A median shrugs off a few such rows; an average would be dragged down. Students then decide, and write down, whether to drop them. ### 3. Read the other columns Seventy-five Latin names appear, and Quercus rubra, the red oak, is the most common with 145 trees. TYPE_PROP shows 609 of the 684 trees on land recorded as private, so most of these trees are seen from the street rather than visited. | Check | Result | | --- | --- | | Distinct tree IDs | 684, one per row | | Largest DIAMETRE value in the file | 185 | | Trees recorded with more than one trunk (MULTI_TRONC O) | 62 | | Rows with a planting date filled in | 8 | | Trees listed on Chemin Saint-Louis | 168 | ### Limits we teach with the data The file does not say what unit DIAMETRE uses or exactly what each position code means, and we do not guess; a student who needs to know asks the city. A potentially remarkable tree is the city's category, not a ranking, and a list with only 8 planting dates cannot tell us how old the trees are. The Ville de Québec publishes the dataset on Données Québec with a CC BY 4.0 licence, which allows reuse, including commercial reuse, with credit to the source. Source: Ville de Québec, Arbres potentiellement remarquables ([dataset page](https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/vque_82), [licence](https://www.donneesquebec.ca/licence/)). The medians and counts are ours, and the city does not endorse this page or our teaching. Contests from Quebec City ## CEMC contests for Quebec City students and CEGEP learners, 2026 to 2027 CEMC at the University of Waterloo publishes its contests in grades, which Quebec schools translate to their own levels; ask the school which paper its students write. Dates are those CEMC lists for North and South America, as of 22 October 2026. | Contest | Date | Language or eligibility, per CEMC | | --- | --- | --- | | Canadian Computing Competition | Wednesday 17 February 2027 | Available in English and French; Junior or Senior chosen by skill | | Beaver Computing Challenge | 9 to 20 November 2026 | English only; three levels up to Grade 10 | | Euclid | Tuesday 6 April 2027 | Final-year secondary students or CÉGEP students | ### A French paper exists Because CEMC offers the CCC in French as well as English, a Quebec City student can write in the language of their school even though our coaching is in English. The code itself, in Python, C++, Java or C, reads the same either way. ### Entry is through the school CEMC is firm that all students must participate through their school. A student at a school that does not take part can ask a nearby school, or at college their CEGEP, to let them write. ### Free past papers CEMC posts a decade of past contests free. We send students to [those papers](https://cemc.uwaterloo.ca/resources/past-contests) for practice and teach with problems we have written, never with CEMC's. Grouping the tree measurements before summarising them is the kind of step a CCC Junior problem quietly tests: read structured input, put each record in the right bucket, and answer the question asked about each bucket. Our [CCC preparation page](/canadian-computing-competition-ccc-prep) sets out how we build toward it, and the math contests have [a page of their own](/cemc-waterloo-contests-preparation). We have no affiliation with CEMC or with the University of Waterloo. Times and numbers ## Quebec City clocks, India clocks, and the area code arriving in 2027 Quebec City runs on Eastern time, with one change in November and another in March; India, where our teachers are, never changes. The two example hours below are conversions, not a timetable. | Period | Quebec City offset | Wednesday 3:30 to 4:30 pm here is, in India | Sunday 1 to 2 pm here is, in India | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Now, to 1 November 2026 | UTC-4 | Thursday 1 to 2 am | Sunday 10:30 to 11:30 pm | | Winter 2026 to 2027, to 14 March | UTC-5 | Thursday 2 to 3 am | Sunday 11:30 pm to Monday 12:30 am | | Spring and summer 2027 | UTC-4 | Thursday 1 to 2 am | Sunday 10:30 to 11:30 pm | ### A fourth area code Quebec City and the rest of eastern Quebec use 418, 581 and 367. In Telecom Decision 2025-269, the CRTC set area code 273 to join them, taking effect on 27 February 2027. Our form already accepts all four as ten digits after the +1. ### A software lesson in a phone number The CRTC timed the change to give providers and customers the necessary time to update their systems, databases and equipment. Any program that checks phone numbers against a fixed list of area codes will reject a valid 273 number, which is a neat example of why validation rules should follow the standard, not a list. ### Times in Eastern first We confirm every Quebec City class in Eastern time, and send it again in the week of each clock change, so nobody has to convert. Learning ladder ## From elementary block coding to Secondary V and CEGEP Stages are approximate. A teacher sets the real starting point in the free lesson. Elementary, early years ### Blocks and order Block programs and animations where a child learns that the order of steps matters. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Elementary, later years ### Typed code Python with loops and conditions, and an honest first look at how AI tools guess.

[Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)[Maths Through Coding](/courses/maths-through-coding)Secondary IV, V and CEGEP ### Data and AI Machine learning for older teens, and adult-paced Python for CEGEP students. [AI and Machine Learning for Teens](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-teens)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)Coding and AI ## Ask an AI for the biggest tree in Quebec City. What will it miss? The column that says how each tree was measured. An AI assistant handed the tree file will happily sort by DIAMETRE and name a winner, and it may even average all 684 values. Unless someone asks, it will not notice that three different measuring positions are mixed together, or that three trees with a diameter of 0 are almost certainly blanks. The code will look clean. The answer will not survive a question from anyone who knows trees. We teach students to look at the columns, plan the grouping and test the result before believing it. Older students meet AI tools under the age rules we keep, and use them to check work they understand rather than to produce work they do not. Quebec asks Technical and Scientific students to identify errors and anomalies in a process; that is exactly the habit that keeps an AI-written answer honest. The longer argument is in [why we think learning to code is still worth it alongside AI](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Live online lessons for Quebec City and Lévis Lessons are online, so a learner in Sainte-Foy, Charlesbourg or across the river in Lévis joins the same teacher. ### 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. ### Group or one to one Fifteen to twenty learners sharing one level, or a dedicated teacher for one learner who wants a quicker pace or a particular goal. ### Placed by Secondary level Teachers place Quebec students by Secondary level and skill, and CEGEP learners with adults. ### English only Everything we teach, hand out or write back is in English. Students who think in French can ask in simple English, and often find code easier than prose. ### Equipment A computer with a keyboard, a microphone, sound and an internet connection that can carry live video. Phones and tablets make typing code slow. ### Free first lesson A complete lesson without charge. It closes with our advice on level, course and time, and nobody asks for a card. No Quebec City office Modern Age Coders has no office or classroom in Quebec City or anywhere in Quebec, and claims none. Lessons are taught live online from India.

FAQ ## Quebec City coding and AI questions Common questions from Quebec City, answered plainly. ### Are there coding classes for kids in Quebec City? Yes. From age 6 a child can join a live online class taught by a real teacher, in a group of fifteen to twenty or in private lessons. We have no classroom in the city. ### Are the lessons in French? No. Lessons, materials and feedback are entirely in English. Many bilingual Quebec City students are comfortable with that, but we would rather a French-only family know before booking. ### How does coding help with the Secondary IV math options? Each option's Quebec description names a habit coding trains: statistics and discrete mathematics in CST, finding errors and anomalies in TS, and formal proof in Science. Programming practises all three. ### Do your classes give Quebec credits? No. We do not grant Quebec credits, diplomas or option placements. Our classes sit beside school and CEGEP, where all credits are earned. ### Can my child take Python classes in Quebec City? Yes. Younger children start with Python and AI for Kids; Secondary students take Python for Teens or Maths Through Coding, then AI and machine learning. ### Do you teach robotics classes in Quebec City? We teach the code that drives a robot, not the robot: Python, logic and sensor data. For building hardware, a school or community team is the right partner for our classes. ### Which AI tools do teenagers use in your classes? Only age-appropriate ones. Adult-rated tools, Claude for one, stay out of under-18 lessons, and a teenager uses ChatGPT only with a parent's permission. ### Can a Quebec City student write the CCC in French? Yes. The 2027 contest, set by CEMC for Wednesday 17 February 2027, comes in French as well as English, and students write it through their school. Our coaching for it is in English. ### What times do classes run for Quebec City? Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays. Each time is confirmed in Eastern time. ### Will a 418 or new 273 number work in the form? Yes. Numbers with 418, 581 or 367 work now, and 273 numbers, which the CRTC introduces on 27 February 2027, will work too. Type the ten digits; the +1 is supplied. ### How are fees shown for Quebec City? Look in the fees section: the free first lesson comes first, then the monthly price of a class place and of a dedicated teacher, with the currency code next to each figure. You are not billed until after the free lesson.
