Hey super-parent! We're happy you're looking for options to get your kids learning to code. It's SUCH an amazing skill to learn and will help your kids in more ways than you can imagine! We're super excited to be bringing Silicon Valley's #1 kids coding program to the area to help your kids get going, so read on and let's get our kids coding!
At theCoderSchool, we want to do more than just teach coding. We want aspiring coders to use their new found passion as a stepping stone to thinking outside the box, as a way to channel their ideas in a creative way and most importantly, to have fun. Interested? Fill out our form and we'll be in touch shortly to tell you more!
Code Coaching® works for kids of all ages and skill levels, from novice to advanced. From game development to web apps, Python to Java, or even niche technologies like AI and beyond, our Coaches can help your kids achieve their goals.
Sessions run one or two hours a week (your choice), at the same time every week on a schedule that works for both you and our assigned Coach. Check out our video for more info!
We believe that every student learns in his or her own way, not only in what they want to work on, but how fast and how much. Our Coder Tree® is a visualization of our students' learning options as they grow and a sampling of some of the topics we teach. Find more details about what kids are learning by checking out our Coder Tree®.
Our suite of proprietary tools* chart weekly progress by tracking concepts and apps, and longer term progress by identifying skills to build their individual Coder Tree®. Get an idea of our progress tools by clicking through a Sample Student's Student Portal to see for yourself.

Hi everyone! We are Chad and Ellen Hamel, owners of theCoderSchool in Ashburn, VA. We are so excited to bring theCoderSchool to the DC metro area! A little about us - we live on a small farm in Loudoun County with our two boys, a dog and lots of other farm animals! Chad is a veterinarian and graduate of Oklahoma State University and Ellen is a nurse with Nursing degree from the University of Virginia and Master of Public Health from George Washington University. We have each worked in the healthcare field for nearly 20 years and we are both former college athletes. Throughout our careers we’ve experienced more and more the importance of technology and its reach into a variety of different industries, including health! For this reason, we feel it is really important to bring the ability to code to the next generation. Coding is not only a critical skill set for the future, but helps kids to develop their creative, cognitive and analytic abilities, setting them up for success in their careers and in life! We chose theCoderSchool because we believe in its philosophy of teaching to code through a personalized coaching approach, in a fun and supportive environment, fostered by a family-oriented team. We hope you’ll join our community and look forward to working with you and your child to create an awesome learning experience! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime at chamel@thecoderschool.com or ehamel@thecoderschool.com.
My name is Magellan, theCodingAlpaca, and I enjoy eating grass, playing with my other Alpaca friends, and of course, Coding. I hope to see you soon at our school. Until then, please ponder how I learned to code when I have hooves for feet and I hope you have an awesome day!
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Find out more about how to apply today.
