At Orchids campus, students are introduced to the Computer program called 'Scratch'- a visual programming language that can be used to program a game. The comprehensive Computer programs offered at Orchids The International School is designed specially by correlating it to day-to-day life for a proper understanding of its professional and personal use. This facilitates pupils to see various technical terms of computers in the most effective way possible. Also, the students will develop specific discipline knowledge and skills required for graduate level and other future prospects.

With the help of survey conducted at the pilot level, it was illustrated that most schools have assigned only a single period of computer science teaching only the basics. Orchids The International School has successfully taken up the idea of having 3-4 periods depending on the grade and covers programming languages as well, along with the fundamentals. In addition, students are taught to create their own web pages and write their own blogs. These computational subjects are relevant to the necessity of pursuing careers in information processing systems.

Some of the key highlights of the course are:

• To simulate hands-on training with real-life scenarios
• Increasing computational thinking and problem-solving ability by basic class activities and puzzles
• Regular assessment after every module instead of one-time examination
• Inculcate the creativity of writing
• The certificate will be issued after completion of course
