Several DFT codes written in C ++ can be found. But there is a very simple to use and understand http://www.chemsoft.ch/qc/fda.htm

Bojidarka B. Ivanova

Mr. Goodarzi,

You should specify the academic grad of your students and the educational module, because of there are set program packages

Sean Nedd

If you are looser on your C++ request, there are other great fortran based codes ... GAMESS and Gaussian. I have had great success using these as pedagogical tools.
