Minecraft classes for ages 7–12
Children already love building in Minecraft, so these classes use it to teach. Minecraft Math Builders and Minecraft Math Masters teach real school maths through builds, the Coding Club teaches first coding ideas, and History in Minecraft brings world landmarks to life. Each course has a new project every week, taught live by a teacher.

How a Minecraft class runs
The teacher shares their screen to show the idea for the day, then children build it themselves while the teacher watches and helps. Most of the class is spent doing, not watching.
Every class ends with a finished build, and the teacher asks each child to explain what they made and how, which is where the learning sticks.
Which course suits your child
Minecraft Math Builders (Grades 1–3) and Minecraft Math Masters (Grades 3–4) teach maths. There is no coding: children count, group, share and measure using blocks.
Minecraft Coding Club is for children who want to start coding. History in Minecraft is for children who love stories and building famous places.
Maths in Minecraft
Minecraft Math Builders is a 10-class course for Grades 1–3 (ages 7–9). Children count, group and share blocks to understand multiplication, see fractions as parts of a build, and learn shapes by making them. The course ends with a Math Quest that uses everything they learned.
Minecraft Math Masters is a full 20-week course for Grades 3–4 (ages 7–12). Each week is a new real-world project, such as a maze, a castle, a marketplace or a stadium, and each project practises one topic: fractions, division, multiplication, geometry or measurement.
Both courses are maths courses, not coding courses. The teacher works problems on a shared whiteboard, and the child then builds the answer in Minecraft, which makes an abstract idea like a quarter or an area into something they can see and count.
Coding in Minecraft
Minecraft Coding Club for Beginners is an 8-class course for ages 7–12. Children write code that builds their Minecraft world for them: castles, towers, farms, aquariums, parkour courses and mini-games, with a new project every week.
No coding experience is needed. Children learn the same first ideas every programmer learns, such as instructions in order, repeating with a loop, and making decisions, and they see the result appear in their world straight away.
History in Minecraft
History in Minecraft: Build World Landmarks is an 8-class course for ages 8–12, taught in very small groups. Children travel through world history by building its greatest landmarks, from the Pyramids of Giza and the Colosseum to the Taj Mahal and the Golden Gate Bridge.
For each landmark the teacher tells the story behind it: who built it, when, why, and how. Children then recreate it block by block, which is a memorable way to learn the culture and engineering behind each place.

- Plan a build before starting it, and explain how it was made
- Finish a new project every week that they can show the family
- Build confidence by solving problems with a teacher who knows Minecraft
Checklist
What you need before the first class
Tick these off and your child is ready.
- A computer or laptop with Minecraft installed
- No coding experience needed for any Minecraft course
FAQ
Questions parents ask
- ?Does my child need to know Minecraft already?
- No. The teacher shows the basic controls in the first class, and children who have played before simply move faster.
- ?Is it just playing games?
- No. Minecraft is the tool, not the goal. Each class teaches one real idea, such as fractions, a coding loop or a piece of history, and the build is how the child practises it.
- ?Can my child take a Minecraft class 1-on-1?
- Yes. Every Minecraft course runs as a small live group or as private 1-on-1 classes with the same content, so you can choose whichever suits your child.
