CSTA Computer Science Standards

Our goal is to ensure that you spend less time on admin work, and more time teaching.

With our course plans, you can be confident that you’re delivering content that’s both engaging for students, and that meets national requirements.

ALIGNED TO CSTA STANDARDS

The courses in Zenva Schools have been mapped to the CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards.

Designed to provide the foundation for the complete computer science curriculum and its implementation at the K-12 level, the CSTA Standards prepare students for entry into the workforce or college.

Relevant standards targeting prior grade levels are included in all the mapping documents below.
