One thing to keep in mind is that computer science is different than computer programming. Doing code academy is great for getting a taste of computer programming (though I recommend khan academy), but it may not be the best for computer science. If you wanted an overview of computer science, I'd recommend this book: http://www.amazon.ca/Computer-Science-Overview-12th-Edition/dp/0133760065
Start picking up Comp Sci books like this one: Comp Sci Overview 12th Edi and start writing code (scripts, apps, etc) Python, Javascript, C#, or anything really. Also become familiar with the different programming paradigms and terms like floating point notation, variables, syntax and semantics. Also it doesn't hurt knowing the basics of how computers work. That will get your feet wet while you learn in school and hopefully you can start connecting the dots from there.
I'd recommend [Computer Science: An Overview by Glenn Brookshear] (http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Science-Overview-12th-Edition/dp/0133760065) or Computer Science Handbook by Allen B. Tucker if you want a more in-depth overview of theoretical topics.
