Code School Finland

What Code School Finland does

Code School Finland Oy is a Finland-based (registered in Oulu, postal address in Helsinki) edtech company founded in 2017 by CEO Kaisu Pallaskallio that helps K-12 schools and ministries of education teach coding, robotics, and AI. Its core offering, Teachease, is an annual subscription that bundles the AI Creator Curriculum (13 courses in coding, AI, robotics, and ICT, each with 24 lessons and classroom-ready Student Books, Teacher's Manuals, and slides) with teacher training and ongoing expert support. The company also sells Teacher Professional Development courses, workshops, and keynotes online or in-person, and operates a self-serve e-learning platform on LearnWorlds plus the B2C Future Skills Camp (6-day/5-night residential program in Oulu run with Saaga Travel). Teaching materials are aligned with the Finnish national core curriculum and international standards such as IB MYP and the British National Curriculum.

The business model combines recurring subscription (Teachease), individual course/workshop fees, freemium online courses, and education travel revenue, distributed through three GTM motions: direct enterprise sales to schools and education ministries, a channel-partner network covering India (School Grads), Oman (Code Academy Oman), Ireland (Flúirse), South Africa (Edunova), Mexico (Knotion), MENA (Aanaab), and others, plus product-led growth via the self-serve platform. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Key customers include Westlake International School, Dresden International School, Dhammajarinee Witthaya School, the Chinese STEM Research Center of the Ministry of Education, Egypt's Ministry of Education (Education 2.0 with UNESCO IBE), and Tecnológico de Monterrey.

The company operates in 20+ countries with materials in 7 languages and reports reaching 100,000+ students globally. Strategic validation includes a 2025 Google investment, a 93/100 pedagogical evaluation by Education Alliance Finland, and a 2019 Visit Finland educational travel product competition win for Future Skills Camp. At roughly 10 employees, Code School Finland executes with a lean operating model that relies heavily on strategic partners, a model that scales reach efficiently but concentrates execution risk.

Direct peers

• Scratch Foundation: MIT-hosted free block-based coding platform with a massive teacher and student community. While non-commercial, it competes for teacher attention and curriculum time against Code School Finland's paid offerings.
• Kodable: K-12 coding curriculum with teacher lesson plans, student activities, and school-district deployment. Closely comparable curriculum-plus-teacher-training bundle and similar primary buyers to Code School Finland.
• Tynker: Subscription-based K-12 coding platform with school and district licensing, including AI/ML modules. Closely comparable in business model (school subscriptions) and target buyer (K-12 administrators and teachers), and now backed by BYJU'S scale.
• Code.org: Non-profit provider of free K-12 computer science curriculum and teacher professional development. Directly competes with Code School Finland's teacher training and curriculum offerings, though Code.org is free and globally subsidized rather than subscription-based.
• Code Avengers: K-12 coding and digital skills courses with school licensing and teacher dashboards. Comparable curriculum content, self-serve delivery, and school subscription model.

Emerging players

• Sphero: Educational robotics and STEM platform used in K-12 schools with curriculum and teacher resources. Overlaps with Code School Finland's robotics and coding curriculum segments, particularly upper-primary and middle school.
• Wonder Workshop: K-12 STEM/coding education company behind Dash, Dot, and Cue robots with curriculum and teacher resources. Comparable robotics and coding curriculum for primary classrooms but more product-led than Code School Finland's content-led model.

Broad incumbents

• Raspberry Pi Foundation: Non-profit computing education organization producing computing curriculum, teacher training, and the Raspberry Pi hardware ecosystem. Broader scope than Code School Finland but overlapping in K-12 computing curriculum and teacher PD.
• LEGO Education: Global STEAM and robotics education provider with K-12 curriculum, teacher training, and hardware kits. Overlaps with Code School Finland's robotics and computational thinking offerings, but with a broader STEAM focus and stronger distribution.
• CoderDojo: Global non-profit network of free coding clubs for youth, part of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Overlaps with Code School Finland's extra-curricular coding camps (e.g., Future Skills Camp) and community-led learning positioning.
