If your Class 9 student already knows Python or Java well, **skip basics** and go into [MERN](/courses/mern-stack-development-masterclass-college), [AI/ML with datasets](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-teens) or [DSA](/courses/problem-solving-dsa-masterclass-teens) directly.

Class 9 is the last long stretch where a real portfolio can be built with room to breathe. 01 / School link ### CBSE CS Code 402 / ICSE CA start formally CBSE Class 9 Code 402 is Python-based. ICSE Class 9 Computer Applications is Java with BlueJ. We teach to the exact syllabus each student follows. 02 / Abstract ### Recursion, trees, OOP click At 14, concepts like recursion, OOP, big-O and tree traversals can properly click. The window is wider than at 13, narrower than at 17. 03 / Signal ### A portfolio at Class 9 reads better in Class 12 College applications look for longevity. A GitHub with weekly commits since Class 9 reads very differently from one that started at Class 12. Projects, not lectures ## Six portfolio projects at Class 9. These sit on every Class 9 student's GitHub by the end of the year. Each one holds up in a Class 12 portfolio. Full Stack ### MERN Task Tracker React + Express + Mongo + JWT.

Three recent Class 9 reviews. Privacy-shortened, content unedited. I'm in Class 9 CBSE. My school CS paper is Python-based. The teacher here covered Python chapters a week before school did, so every test felt like revision. Alongside, I'm building a MERN app. PParth J.Student · Gurgaon · 1-on-1 ICSE Class 9 Computer Applications is strict. Modern Age Coders' Java track matches it to the exam. My daughter topped the Class 9 unit test, up from 72 the year before. TTejas R.Parent · Bengaluru · Group We started Class 9 not knowing if coding was for him. Halfway through the year he is sure. He built a Kaggle housing-price model and explained overfitting at dinner. At 14 that is something.
