I'd seriously consider JavaScript (More specifically, TypeScript).

There's plenty of available information on the MEAN stack, and it has the distinct benefit of allowing you to tailor the experience to the capabilities of the students with little effort. Each stack element has a bit of a learning curve, but I strongly suspect that some of them (specifically Angular) are not so step if one doesn't walk in with preconceived notions.

For tools, you can use JetBrains WebStorm (which is fantastic) with free licenses for classroom environments.
