More than an after-school activity.

Smithville families drive a little farther for a reason. Love to Code Academy is about 20 minutes from Smithville at 248 NE Barry Road in Kansas City. For Smithville R-II families, it is a drive worth making.

Students in grades K-8 come to LTCA for coding, robotics, and esports. They leave with more than technical knowledge. They leave knowing what they are capable of building and what kind of person they are capable of becoming. The Love to Code Character Framework is woven into every session through real projects, real collaboration, and real coaching.

LTCA does not have school partnerships yet. Smithville families drive to Kansas City and discover something closer programs cannot offer: a place where the character development is as intentional as the curriculum. Every student starts at the white belt level and progresses through nine belt levels as they grow in both skill and character. The belt system gives students a visible path and a reason to keep working.
