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.

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!

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!
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Find out more about how to apply today.
