We had a mandatory "informatics" class in all years (age 6 to 18).
At start we learned how to use computers and programming in logo.
Age 10 was HTML.
Then there was a year for OpenOffice, a year for 3D graphics in Blender (I think when we were like 14). We had some lessons on vector graphics in Inkscape. Some lessons on audio editing in Audacity.
We learned some Unix basics. Later we returned to HTML and learned CSS.
Age 13 we learned C, the more motivated ones continued with Allegro and later C++.
Age 15 PHP and SQL
There was also a semester on finite state machines, but that was much less popular among students.
I graduated in 2010 and I am very happy regarding the curiculum my teachers built (out of their own volition and motivation).
Nowadays I think they also do Python and focus more on generic internet researching / verifying information.
Wow, where's this school with such program? Back in my day, we had BASIC programming on TI calculators. Younger (french) children i meet don't even have programming lessons, they're just taught how to use Microsoft Office and laposte.net webmail... just enough tech proficiency to be efficient wage-slaves, but no political/technical reflections.
I went to an experimental public school in Slovakia. We were allowed to diverge somewhat from rules ministry of education prescribes for the ordinary schools. So the teachers had more freedom in doing whatever they wanted. Usually it worked well, but sometimes it didn't.
Oh experimental schools are so cool usually. Too bad after a few years the ministry usually comes in and tears down everything because the experiments were so successful [0].
If you ever write about your experiences there and what worked and what didn't, i'd be very interested in a link to the post! :)
[0] For example in France, the public ministry of Education has been running test programs with "Montessori" education techniques for several decades (the techniques are >100y old). All of these experiments have been strong successes, and that's precisely why they were never implemented globally. The government doesn't want people to get too smart.. they'd rather have docile wage-slaves who bow before the flag.
