✏️ New Curriculum

AP Cybersecurity With the CodeHS Cyber Range

Prepare students for the future with the new AP Cybersecurity course, available free on CodeHS. Add Cyber Range to give students more hands-on practice with guided challenges, real Linux commands, and interactive labs in a secure environment.

Vibe Coding - Available with CodeHS Pro

Vibe coding is a new way to build software by describing what you want in plain language and letting AI generate the code. It’s used by professional developers every day and now we have built it for the classroom with the CodeHS Vibe Coding tool and Introduction to Vibe Coding course.

With the Vibe Coding tool, students describe what they want to build, and AI generates or updates the code. They can refine their projects with follow-up prompts, ask the AI to explain the code, and see changes instantly, making it easy to experiment, iterate, and connect their ideas to the underlying code.

AP CSP (Python) - Refreshed

Our AP Computer Science Principles course has been refreshed with a new practice performance task, additional Python exercises, and updated notes and quizzes to strengthen programming skills and exam readiness. The course remains fully aligned with current AP requirements while preparing teachers for upcoming College Board changes.

Advanced Python and AI Programming

Advanced Python and AI Programming is a new second-year course that builds on foundational Python skills with object-oriented programming, data structures, algorithms, Python libraries, and AI concepts. Through hands-on projects and real-world applications, students strengthen their programming skills while exploring advanced topics in Python and artificial intelligence.

K-8 Pathway - CSTA Standards Aligned

Our K-8 Computer Science Pathway has been redesigned to align with the 2026 CSTA PK-12 Computer Science Standards. With updated CodeHop courses and the new Tech Apps and Coding middle school course, students build coding, digital literacy, AI, and programming skills through a cohesive K-8 progression.

🛠️ New Tools - Available with CodeHS Pro

Student Groups

Student Groups are now available, making it easier for teachers to organize students within a section. Create custom groups for class periods, interventions, or teams, then filter the Gradebook, Progress, Quizzes, and Roster apps by group to personalize instruction and monitor student progress.

Ask AI Teacher Assistant

Ask AI is a new Pro tool built into the CodeHS dashboard that helps teachers plan lessons, answer questions, and streamline classroom tasks. Teachers can quickly find courses, review standards alignment, discover lesson recommendations, and gain optional class insights, all while maintaining control over student data and privacy.

AI Student Hints

Support students as they code with AI Student Hints, now available in the CodeHS code editor. Teachers choose which students have access by opting them in, can monitor every AI interaction, and stay in control while students receive guided, context-aware hints based on their assignment, code, and autograder results that encourage independent problem solving.

Academic Integrity Updates

We've introduced new Academic Integrity improvements to help teachers more confidently identify and review potential cheating. Updated similarity detection reduces false positives, new code history indicators make it easier to spot large pasted code, and notifications proactively alert teachers to suspicious work for faster review.

LOGIC

Better understand student growth with CodeHS LOGIC. Designed as a pretest and posttest assessment, LOGIC measures computational thinking, problem solving, and logical reasoning to help teachers identify strengths, uncover learning gaps, and track progress throughout the year.
