Coding Classes and Camps for Kids Near You | theCoderSchool Code-coaching

Code Coaching® is our core philosophy, and what our schools are all about! We believe that every student is different, and that kids should learn in the way that works best for each child. Unlike some coding schools, we don't just leave the kids in front of a computer, expecting the software to teach them how to code. Nor do we force all kids to go through the same curriculum or projects, regardless of their skills and interests. Instead, our Code Coaches® customize their lessons for each child, and focus on a 2 on 1 mentee-mentor relationship with our students so they can get the focused attention they need.

Plus, our Code Coaching programs also include a heap of goodies:

Weekly notes, summarizing your student's previous session and emailed to you
Custom progress tracking system with Coder Points, a proprietary point earning system
Support creating your unique Coder Story, our way of providing a roadmap of coding-related activites for you to pursue. Those interested in becoming a college CS major can expand their story to help their college application.
Personalized Student Portal listing all student accomplishments
Regular skill assessments through App Reviews and app uploads
Automatic invitation to participate in our regular Coder Fair showcase events
Entry to theCoderGames, a national coding competition at both novice and intermediate/advanced levels

Unlimited access to AppStream, our coding video series
Wide range of languages taught (Scratch, Python, Java, Javascript, HTML/CSS, Swift, Android, React, Robotics, Unity, Roblox, and more, depending on staff).
