Frequently Asked Questions

Graphite Academy is a coding and robotics school in Singapore. Founded in 2016, we offer programmes for children and work with primary and secondary schools.

Graphite Academy was founded in 2016, initially focusing on coding and robotics education in Singapore schools.

Children can begin with age-appropriate coding and robotics activities from around ages 4–6. Programme suitability depends on the child's age and experience.

Yes. Our beginner programmes start with fundamental concepts and practical activities before introducing more advanced coding and robotics topics.

Students learn sequences, loops, conditions, variables, debugging and problem-solving. As they progress, they may explore Scratch, Python and more advanced programming.

Coding classes focus on creating and understanding computer programmes. Robotics combines programming with building and controlling physical models, including motors and sensors.

Depending on the programme and learning stage, students may use Scratch, Python and LEGO robotics equipment. Tools are chosen to suit the lesson objectives.

Our core learning pathway moves through Foundations, Exposure and Immersion, helping students progress from introductory coding to more complex programming and robotics projects.

Yes, laptops are provided during Graphite Academy classes.

Yes. Parents can book a free trial class to explore our teaching approach and assess whether a programme suits their child. Book a free trial class.

The best starting point depends on your child's age, interests and previous coding experience. Our team can help you compare available programmes.

Our weekly classes are priced at $80 per lessons. Please check with our team for current fees and applicable offers.

A weekly class term includes eight lessons.

Our learning centres include Canberra Plaza, Elias Mall and Greenridge in Singapore. Class availability may differ by location.

Please contact our team for the current make-up lesson and attendance policy.

Yes. Our school holiday programmes include themed activities such as coding, game development, creative technology and robotics.

Age ranges vary by programme. Many coding camps are designed for children aged 6–12, while some robotics activities cater to a wider age range.

Some holiday programmes are suitable for beginners, but requirements depend on the camp. Check the individual programme details or ask our team.

Yes. We offer coding and robotics preparatory programmes for students interested in Direct School Admission (DSA) pathways. Explore DSA preparation.

Depending on the course, preparation can include Python programming, computational thinking, problem-solving, project work, competition-style challenges and interview or showcase preparation.

Starting earlier can allow more time to develop programming skills and project experience. The right timing depends on your child's current ability and the schools they are considering.

Yes. Graphite Academy has worked with more than 120 MOE schools across Singapore.

We support schools with coding and robotics CCA programmes, cohort-level programmes, competition preparation, curriculum planning and equipment recommendations.

Our team works with schools to understand their learning objectives, student groups and schedules before recommending suitable programme arrangements.
