Have Questions ?
-
What happens at the end of the program?
The goal of the program is to familiarize students with various STEM subjects and spark an interest. Most students complete the curriculum they choose. After completion, students have the option to join a Workshop system where they will be given projects. A project supervisor will guide them through creating project milestones, timelines, part ordering, design, coding and build. Workshop can run anywhere between 2-4 months. Students can also choose a different curriculum depending on their interest.
-
I am not sure which program is good for my child.
We generally recommend Robotics for students who are not sure which one they like. The Robotics curriculum teaches students coding, electronics, design, 3D printing, and microcontrollers. It is great because students will test various skills and find which one they enjoy more. Through the Robotics curriculum, they will learn C language, which is heavily used in Electronics and Robotics.
-
Is 1-hour per week enough?
Yes, curriculums are designed for the long term, and the recipe for long-term learning is persistence. Learning programming requires time to digest. For this reason, some terms do have homework in which students need to install various software to practice. There is no need to purchase any product, as all homework software includes simulations.
-
When do the classes start?
Since courses are 8 weeks in duration, new students have a window to join every 2 months. We offer classes during evenings and/or weekends. Every 2 months, we publish a schedule for new students only, which can be accessed by going to the site, clicking on In-Centre or virtual programs from the top menu, selecting the desired program, and clicking the “Class Schedule” button. Each center produces its own class schedules.
Free trial class schedules are also available on the website: https://exceedrobotics.com/programs/
After the free trial class, parents receive class schedules for the upcoming term via email. -
What are the holidays?
We operate year-round and, for the most part, follow the TDSB calendar. Major holidays are:
1. Christmas/New Year period
2. March Camp week
3. Labour Day -
Do we need to buy anything?
No, we provide all the needed robots and software to students. If they need to do any homework, the provided software will have simulations. There are optional kits that students could purchase if they would like to create projects at home, but this usually occurs towards the end of the curriculum.
-
What happens if we miss a class?
Students MUST attend ALL classes to ensure the desired outcome. If students do miss a class, they need to attend a makeup session (free) before their next class. A convenient make-uplink is available on the website, which allows students to self-register for the make-up class:

-
How much does it cost?
The cost for each course (8 weeks, 1 class per week for an hour) is $380 plus HST, which is equivalent to $47.5/hr. We take a maximum of 6 students per class to ensure personalized attention from the instructor.
-
Do you have any discounts?
We offer only two discounts:
Sibling discount: Multiple students from the SAME FAMILY: Each student will receive a $50 discount per term. For example, if two kids from the same family enroll for one term, the tuition will be 2 x $330 = $660 + HST.
Students taking multiple courses: Students will receive a $50 discount per course per term. For example, if a student enrolls in two courses, the cost will be: 2 x $330 = $660. -
Who are the instructors and what qualifications do they have?
We hand-pick our instructors from university students, mostly in Engineering or Computer Science programs. In addition to the technical skills, they are all capable of bonding with kids and possess strong interpersonal and communication skills. They do not begin teaching classes until they have completed at least 1 month of training at Exceed.
-
Who makes the content?
All our content is designed, developed, and made by our team. The goal is to keep a balance between fun and science. Robots bring a lot of fun when learning a programming language. Each class is equipped with individual workstations, a projector, a whiteboard, and class slides which instructors use to teach.
-
Why should we consider Exceed? How do you compare to other clubs?
- Our staff consists of Engineers and M.Eng graduates.
- We are passionate about teaching kids the right skills to understand what they like to pursue for their future careers.
- We adhere to strict regulations when it comes to teaching the fundamentals of Robotics, Coding, and AI.
- Most places offer self-paced learning. Although we do have a small portion of our projects done this way, over 95% of our teaching is fundamentally conducted in a classroom scenario.
-
What happens if my child wants to take a break?
Absolutely, and we do recommend breaks as needed. Each course at Exceed is 8 weeks long, and we offer these courses throughout the year. Before the beginning of a new term, we ask parents to let us know if they plan to take a break. If so, they will be reminded before the following term if they would like to re-join. Students will continue from where they left off. They usually won’t forget the content, since coding is similar to math: once you learn it, it becomes part of you. They might forget some syntax (words), which can be easily brushed off, but they will not forget the logic.
-
What if my child does not like it after we join?
Oh, we totally understand that. If they change their mind during a course, we provide a FULL REFUND if they stop before the 4th class of ANY course. Our priority is ensuring children only continue with the curriculum if they genuinely enjoy it.
