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!
Our coding school's flagship program, Code Coaching®, combines a super-small teaching ratio of typically 2:1 or 1:1 with individualized curriculum so kids are able to move at their own pace, doing things that interest them most. This program works for kids of all ages and skill levels. From game development to web apps, Python to Java, or even niche technologies like AI and beyond, our Code Coaches can help your kids achieve their programming 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. Our lessons are taught in-person at our schools where available, or can be online for social distancing. Fill out our form above to get a free trial today!
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. Like real trees, our students' coding journeys are unique from each other, but all require strong foundations and trunks to support their higher, advanced branches. Need a magnifying glass? Here's a zoomable view.
Custom coding means tracking progress is even more important! Our suite of proprietary tools* does just that. Our Coder Progress and Notes+ systems chart weekly progress through concept tracking and freeform notes. App Reviews track longer term progress by identifying current skills to build their individual Coder Tree®. Finally, our Student Portal is a one-stop shop to see it all and then some! Confused? It's complicated! Get an idea by clicking through a Sample Student's functional Student Portal to see for yourself.

Each year, theCoderSchool partners with the Congressional App Challenge, a nationwide coding contest run by districts of the U.S. Congress. Take a look at our recent winners, or ask about our App Gallery to see more apps!
Let's get ready for some camps! This December, we'll be running two virtual camps. Each camp will run for 3-days and from 10:30am - 2pm each day.
We'll be updating our plans for Spring Break camps very soon, so sign up for more info, send us an email or give us a call if you'd like us to keep you in the loop on these updates!
What better way to keep your kids' brains active in these crazy times?!?
| Week | Format | Camp | Ages | Price |
| 12/21-12/23 | Virtual | Python Startup Camp - Winter Break Who’s ready for some PYTHON! Sounds a little gross, like a giant snake right? But it’s actually one of the hottest languages around today. Take advantage of the easy-to-read style of coding while picking up on one of the most popular languages today for professional and beginner coders alike. We’ll start out by using an online Python platform to learn some basics and practice some fundamental concepts, and time permitting and based on our camper skill set, we may jump on to some more complex Python coding, potentially getting into coding with PyGame. (10:30-2:00) Ages 9+ | Ages 9+ | $150 |
| 12/28-12/30 | Virtual | Game Developer on Scratch - Winter Break We’ll be using cool drag n’ drop languages like Scratch to create some new and classic games! Aimed at our newbie and novice coders! (10:30-2:00) Ages 7-11 | Ages 7-11 | $150 |
Welcome to theCoderSchool Centennial! We are Andrew and Stephanie Pedersen and we are so excited to bring theCoderSchool to Colorado!
We’ve been here in Colorado for almost 10 years. Andrew has built a career in selling technology solutions to large hospitality and healthcare organizations, serving as a trusted advisor in helping ensure his clients had the right technology to meet their business needs. Stephanie is a healthcare executive experienced in business operations, healthcare data and IT platforms. Our daughter Lauren came up through the Cherry Creek elementary schools and is currently a 7th grader at Denver School of the Arts.
We loved the initial exposure that our daughter got to coding through her STEM classes at school, but we were really looking for opportunities to take it farther. We wanted to find an approach that would not only teach kids how to code … but that would also help them understand why the code works the way it does. theCoderSchool does just that, and does it in a way that is tailored and meaningful to each kiddo!
