About
theCoderSchool is an after-school drop-off and virtual program where kids work on coding through private and semi-private coaching. The program offers coding classes that can include Python, Scratch, video game coding, and robotics. Kids can also participate in virtual learning options in addition to in-person coaching.
• Ages: 6–18 years old
theCoderSchool was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Silicon Valley. Its core program uses a super-small student-to-teacher ratio, typically 2:1, and focuses on a mentor relationship with experienced coders called Code Coaches. The program features cool startup-vibe locations and a public App Gallery, and it offers AppStream, an online weekly video format product for new coders. theCoderSchool has been recognized with a National Top App of the Month and is the largest in Silicon Valley with more locations expanding around the country. It is a longtime partner of the Congressional App Challenge and has books authored in collaboration with Simon Basher from Basher Books. The leadership team at this location includes Hansel and Wayne, and the organization also offers franchising opportunities to start a theCoderSchool business.
One parent from New Jersey with 23 years in IT described the customized curriculum and recommended the program for kids learning STEM concepts via coding. A parent from California shared that online classes were engaging for her son and called it a “quarantine lifesaver.” Another parent from Georgia noted that her son enjoyed online coding lessons and an online spring break camp, especially creating games and continuing to work on them between sessions. A parent from Connecticut reported that their kids “really loved the Scratch camp” and were very excited about learning something new.
