Edumate Coding Academy · Nigeria

The most valuable skill you can give your child is learning how to build things.

Not games. Not videos. Real coding — Python, JavaScript, web development and the problem-solving mindset behind them. Edumate Coding Academy teaches Nigerian children and teenagers to think like builders, not just consumers of technology.

The Problem

Your child is brilliant. The system isn't preparing them for the world they'll work in.

The Nigerian school system still rewards memorisation over creation. But the world your child will enter rewards people who can build, solve and adapt. That gap is widening every year.

Screen time with no skill attached

Children spend hours on games and videos but learn nothing about how any of it is made. They consume technology — they don't understand or create it.

The curriculum hasn't caught up

Most Nigerian schools still teach computer studies as typing and Microsoft Word. Coding, computational thinking and problem solving are missing entirely.

Bright children get bored

Children who think creatively are often labelled "distracted" or "restless" because the classroom doesn't give them problems worth solving. Coding gives them an outlet.

The future job market is technical

Whatever field your child enters — medicine, law, business, art — technology will be part of it. The children who understand how systems work will lead it.

The Solution

Edumate Coding Academy — teaching children to build, not just consume

Founded in 2023 by Emmanuel Adekunle Peace, Edumate Coding Academy teaches Nigerian children and teenagers the skills, thinking and confidence to create with technology. No boring lectures. No copy-and-paste lessons. Real projects, real understanding.

🧠

Computational Thinking

Before code, students learn how to break problems into steps, recognise patterns and design solutions. This is the mindset that outlasts every programming language.

🐍

Real Programming Languages

Python and JavaScript taught properly — with variables, functions, loops, logic and structure. The same languages professionals use daily.

🌐

Web Development

Students build their own websites with HTML5 and CSS3. Many leave with a personal site they can show proudly to family, teachers and future schools.

🎮

Games and Projects

Learning through building what children love. Games, quizzes, small apps — each project teaches new skills without feeling like schoolwork.

🗣

Confidence and Presentation

Students present their projects to the class. That habit of standing up and explaining their work builds confidence that carries into every area of life.

📈

Progression, Not Panic

Each level builds on the last. Students move at a pace that stretches them without overwhelming them — with assessment that measures real understanding.

Programme Tracks

Age-appropriate learning paths

Children learn differently at different ages. Edumate groups students so each track fits the way they think, focus and play.

Credentials & Proof

Who founded Edumate — and why it matters

Edumate Coding Academy isn't a side project. It's run by someone who has led schools, built software and taught students for over a decade.

Founder — Emmanuel Adekunle Peace

Full stack developer, author of 25+ books, and former Principal/Director of Floral Chris Group of Schools (2008–2023). He understands both the classroom and the code.

15 Years in School Leadership

Emmanuel ran a school group for 15 years. He knows how children learn, how parents judge quality, and how education actually works in Nigeria.

Working Full Stack Developer

React.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, JavaScript ES6+ — Emmanuel builds real software. His students learn from someone actively working in the field, not a retiree.

Founder & CEO — LabelReach Advertising Ltd

Since 2015. Running a business means Edumate is structured, accountable and parent-focused — not a hobby academy that closes every few months.

"My son used to just play games on his tablet. Now he builds them. The shift in how he thinks is what surprised me most."

Parent Lagos, Nigeria

"My daughter came home from the first class excited to show me what she'd made. That never happens with homework."

Parent Abuja, Nigeria

"The classes are structured and the teacher actually understands what he's teaching. Not just reading from slides."

The Process

How to enrol your child

Simple, transparent and free of pressure. From first message to first class in under a week.

Reach out on WhatsApp

Send a message with your child's age and what you'd like them to learn. No commitment — just a conversation about what's possible.

Free introductory assessment

Your child joins a short introductory session so we can understand their level, interests and how they learn best. No pressure, no cost.

Recommend the right track

Based on the assessment, we recommend a specific track and schedule. You receive clear information about fees, times and what's included.

Enrol and start classes

Once you're happy with the plan, we enrol your child and start classes. Online or in-person, depending on your location.

Regular progress updates

Parents receive updates on what their child is learning, what projects they've completed and how they're progressing. No mystery about what you're paying for.

Project showcase

Each term ends with a project presentation. Students show parents what they've built — building confidence, communication and pride in their work.

FAQ

Parents ask us these first

What age is Edumate Coding Academy for?

Edumate Coding Academy teaches children and teenagers roughly between ages 8 and 18. Classes are grouped by age and experience level, so beginners start with visual and block-based programming before progressing to real code — Python, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3. Absolute beginners are welcome.

Do children need prior coding experience to join?

No. Most students arrive with zero coding experience. The programme is designed to start from scratch, building computational thinking and confidence before moving into real programming. What matters more than prior knowledge is curiosity and willingness to learn.

Where does Edumate Coding Academy operate?

Edumate Coding Academy operates in Nigeria, with both in-person sessions in Lagos and online classes available for students elsewhere in the country. Online classes run over video with live instructor support — not pre-recorded videos. Parents can reach out on WhatsApp to confirm current availability for their location.

How much do coding classes for kids cost in Nigeria?

Fees depend on format (online or in-person), class frequency and programme level. Edumate Coding Academy keeps its pricing accessible and transparent — no hidden charges, no surprise invoices. Parents receive a clear breakdown of fees, schedule and what's included before enrolling. Reach out on WhatsApp for current pricing.

What will my child actually learn at Edumate?

Students learn computational thinking, problem solving, and real programming languages — starting with visual block coding for younger learners, then progressing to Python, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3. By the end of the programme, students can build their own websites, games and small applications. The focus is on understanding, not memorising.

Do you offer coding programmes for schools?

Yes. Edumate Coding Academy offers coding programmes for schools in Nigeria — either as an after-school club, a curriculum enrichment module, or a holiday coding bootcamp. Schools can contact directly on WhatsApp to discuss a tailored programme for their students.
