About
theCoderSchool is an after-school drop-off and virtual program where kids work on Private+Semi-Private Coaching, coding classes, robotics, Python, Scratch, and video game coding. The program is described as a coding school where kids learn to code and explore AI technologies that are becoming part of everyday life.
• Schedule: After-school drop-off and virtual program
theCoderSchool states that every child is unique and that students receive personalized guidance from experienced Code Coaches while they build programming foundations, learn how AI works, learn how to use it responsibly, and think critically about technology. The program highlights a super-small student-to-teacher ratio, typically 2:1, and describes itself as the largest coding school in Silicon Valley with more locations planned around the country. Founded in 2013, theCoderSchool is described as the first of many and the largest in Silicon Valley, and its mission statement notes it was founded in 2014 and is headquartered there. The leadership story notes that in 2013, Hansel was working on getting his own kids to learn to code, and that Wayne later joined to focus on corporate schools and franchise support while Hansel built up the company.
The program runs a National Top App of the Month program, where each month the best app is selected from hundreds submitted nationwide by students. As a longtime partner of the Congressional App Challenge (CAC), theCoderSchool works with CAC to encourage innovation through coding across the country, and beginning in 2025–2026 it plans to collaborate with CAC on a national recognition program to identify a handful of top applications from thousands of submissions.
Parent testimonials describe customized curriculum, online classes, and camps. One parent from New Jersey with 23 years in IT states that the customized curriculum stood out and calls it the place they want their kids to be. A parent from California reports that their child is having a wonderful experience, finds the instructors exceptional, and that online classes have been engaging and a “quarantine lifesaver.” A parent from Georgia notes that their son is loving his online coding lessons, that coaches and staff are very helpful, and that he enjoyed an online spring break camp and creating games between sessions. Another parent from Connecticut shares that their kids really loved the Scratch camp and that they look forward to returning later in the summer.
