Overview — live virtual Roblox (Lua) lessons for kids in Montreal
Our live virtual Roblox Lua classes give kids ages 7–14 a safe, guided introduction to game scripting and design. Classes are instructor-led (not prerecorded), offered in English, French or bilingual formats, and designed for busy Montreal families who want structured after-school enrichment without the commute.
Who this is for
- Parents in Montreal and Greater Montreal seeking small-group or 1:1 online coding lessons.
- Bilingual households (EN/FR) or families comfortable in either language — we offer clear language options and bilingual instructors.
- Children aged roughly 7–14 interested in game creation, safe online creativity and STEM skills.
Class formats, timing & class size
We prioritize live, interactive learning with a choice of formats:
- Short free trial/demo: 20–30 minute live demo so your child can try Roblox Studio and meet an instructor.
- Drop-in single classes: One-off 60-minute sessions — great for testing interest or weekend playdates.
- Structured multi-week courses: 6–8 week blocks with progressive lessons and take-home projects.
- One-on-one tutoring: Private lessons for faster skill growth or tailored projects.
Typical scheduling windows are tailored to Montreal routines: after-school 4:00–7:00pm on weekdays, and weekend slots in the late morning or early afternoon. These times work well for families across Montreal, the West Island and suburbs (Westmount, Outremont, Ville Mont-Royal, Côte-Saint-Luc, Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, Beaconsfield, Hampstead).

Safety, privacy & online classroom rules
Online safety is a top priority for parents. We combine platform best practices and instructor-led moderation:
- Live sessions on secure video platforms with waiting rooms and instructor-managed screen sharing.
- Small class sizes and one-on-one options to limit exposure and keep instruction focused.
- Guidance on Roblox account privacy: we advise parental oversight of accounts and use of Roblox’s privacy settings.
- Chat controls and structured teacher-led interaction — no unsupervised direct messaging with other participants.
- Clear policies on recording, consent and data handling; see Parent FAQ — online safety & tech requirements for details.
Hardware & software requirements
To get the best learning experience we recommend:
- A laptop or desktop (Windows or macOS) with a reliable web camera and headset. These provide the smoothest Roblox Studio experience.
- Tablets and iPads can work for some Roblox features, but Roblox Studio (the development environment) is best on laptops/desktops.
- Chromebook compatibility varies by model — some newer Chromebooks can run Roblox via Android apps or cloud streaming, but many cannot run Roblox Studio natively. If you only have a Chromebook, book a quick device check before the trial.
- Stable internet (recommended 10 Mbps or higher), Chrome or Edge browser for the video platform, and the latest Roblox client appropriate for the device.
If you’re unsure about your device, use our device checklist or request a quick compatibility check before your free demo. See Parent FAQ for a downloadable tech checklist.
