About
theCoderSchool offers private and semi-private coaching, coding classes, and virtual learning that include robotics, Python, Scratch, and video game coding. The program uses a super-small student to teacher ratio, typically 2:1, and offers an after-school drop-off and virtual format for kids learning to code. Students can also share their work through a public App Gallery showcasing student projects.
• Schedule: After-school drop-off and virtual program options for kids learning to code
theCoderSchool was founded in 2013, and it was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Silicon Valley. The program describes its locations as having a cool startup vibe and states that it is the largest coding school in Silicon Valley with more locations on the way around the country.

Each month, theCoderSchool votes on the best app out of hundreds submitted nationwide by its students for its National Top App of the Month recognition. As a longtime partner of the Congressional App Challenge, theCoderSchool supports coding-related innovation across the country and plans to collaborate with the Challenge beginning in 2025–2026 on a national recognition program to identify a handful of top applications from thousands of student submissions.
Parent testimonials describe customized curriculum, online classes, and camps. One parent from New Jersey states that theCoderSchool created a customized curriculum for their child and calls it “the place you want your kids to be.” A parent from California describes online classes as engaging and calls the program “a quarantine lifesaver.” A parent from Georgia reports that their child enjoys creating games and continuing to work on them between online lessons and an online spring break camp. Another parent from Connecticut notes that their kids “really loved the Scratch camp” and looked forward to returning later in the summer.
