"The Coder School has been a fantastic experience for my 8-year-old. The instructors are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient, making coding accessible and enjoyable for young learners. There's a perfect balance between structure and creativity, keeping my child engaged and excited about each session. The small class sizes allow for personalized attention, ensuring that my child's unique learning needs are met. The collaborative and supportive atmosphere has boosted my child's confidence in tackling coding challenges. As a parent, I value the clear communication and regular updates on my child's progress. I'm delighted with the positive impact it has had on my child's interest in technology and problem-solving. Overall, I highly recommend The Coder School for parents looking to introduce their children to the world of coding in a fun and educational way."

Vae E, Corona
"My son has been going here since they opened. He really enjoys his class. He’s in high school and it has inspired him to continue learning to code."
Jodi L, Corona
"My son started with one session per week for almost three months now, he absolutely love the course. He said it was fun and very motivated, he has just added another session this week, he is very excited about it."
Hannah T, Corona
"My 8 year old son fell in with this program after his trial class. He has ADD and is on the spectrum so it’s rare a class excites him or keeps his attention. He came back from his first class yesterday and couldn’t wait to tell me all about it. This is a fantastic program and I’m so happy we found them."
Stephanie D, Corona
"My nine year old son started here in September and loves every minute of it. He is encouraged to develop things that interest him as well the fundamental basics of coding. His tutor Tim is knowledgeable, patient and fun. A worthy investment."
David M, Corona

Meet Our General Manager

William Ngo

Hello! I’m William Ngo, the General Manager at The Coder School in Corona. My journey into tech began during COVID when I decided to pivot from a career in medicine. Captivated by the dynamic and innovative nature of the tech industry, I transitioned into developing various applications for businesses. Now, I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and inspiring our students to explore the endless opportunities that tech has to offer. I believe it’s important for everyone to recognize the vast possibilities that technology brings, as it touches so many aspects of both recreational and professional life. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s progress or their experience with technology, I’m always here to chat. Let’s work together to ensure they get the most out of their journey into the world of tech.

We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Shoot us an email with resumé to see if we're a fit!

Frequently Asked Questions

How can coding help kids?

Many folks might think learning to code is so kids can actually code an app. Honestly, that's not usually the case! Coding real-life apps is tough. Despite what the media says, your kid is not writing some million dollar app by themselves in a month. Instead, coding helps kid *solve problems*. Coding is all about debugging and logically thinking through the fix. Breaking a large problem into smaller parts, logical sequencing, these are all important problem solving skills for any kid (or adult!). A second benefit is confidence and passion in technology. There's plenty of time for kids to learn the latest real tech (which changes all the time), but the time to build passion for technology (and a foundational knowledge base) is when they're young!

What is the best coding language to learn as a beginner?

The truth is, Scratch is amazing for a beginner at ANY AGE. If someone is truly a beginner, a platform like Scratch can allow them to create and engage much more quickly. Older kids (say 11 and up) can soon move to a language like Python or Javascript. Just remember that it takes a LOT MORE work to get Python/Javascript to do the same thing as Scratch - so the kids will need some patience. No matter what anyone tells you please DO NOT start learning with Java or C++! Those languages are too advanced to start with, and we've seen it too often - kids will give up because it's so hard! Definition of backfiring!

What is the best age to start coding?

It depends - we think the best age is the age they want to do it! Listen, there's plenty of time to *really* learn to code - there's a reason Comp Sci is a really tough college degree. The important thing in the younger years is to bring out the desire and passion to learn more - that's why at theCoderSchool we customize our projects based on the student's interests and really focus on engagement before learning.

How do I get accepted into a college computer science program?

These days, top colleges are incredibly selective. Learning to code by itself probably won't help you stand out enough. Instead, consider building a unique Coder Story. Can we help? Sure can!

What are the benefits of kids learning to code?

Children of all ages can benefit from learning coding skills, and students who get hands-on experience with computer programming go on to excel in other subjects Coding helps students gain computer proficiency and build real-world problem-solving skills. Exploring technology is essential for computer literacy. Building fundamental coding skills encourages creativity, promotes teamwork, and enhances spatial intelligence and logical thinking skills. Kids of all ages can learn computer science. For teenagers, learning how to code leads to the development of transferable skills that can be applied in future careers or workplaces. If your student is interested in data science or machine learning, a self-paced course in computer programming can help pave their path.

As you and your family consider coding programs, it helps to keep in mind:

The age of the student (we can teach kids as young as six)

Their individual interests (such as Lego, Roblox, robotics, video game design, or artificial intelligence)

Any previous hands-on experience with coding (even exposure to mobile apps or playing with Minecraft counts)

Preferred learning style (we offer both flexible and structured curricula and support self-paced learning)

Social skills (some students learn best in one-on-one lessons, while others favor teamwork)

Whether the student wants to explore Minecraft modding in Minecraft camp, is interested in HTML, or wants to learn block-based coding like CSS, our interactive classes provide a great coding experience.

Can a 6 year old do coding?

Sure! Kids this young are just developing their sense of logic. While some advanced 6 year olds are ready to dive into learning Scratch, many are better off with fun learning apps like Kodable or Scratch Jr..

How do kids learn to code?

Same way adults do! The best way to learn something is to just DO it. It's not about all the theory and fancy words, it's about just doing it over and over again. If you're a parent with a college degree, think back. How much of that theoretical curriculum did you really use in your job? Or did you really learn your job by DOING your job? It's the same with kids, we'll mentor and guide them, but most importantly, we'll get them to code something custom that they want to code!

Where is the best place to learn coding for kids?

We're a little bit biased, but we think it's theCoderSchool! There's no better way to learn anything, including coding, than just doing it with a mentor to guide you. Online or in person, our Code Coaches will give you that low-ratio full attention that every kid deserves!

What is theCoderSchool? We are an after-school drop-off (and virtual) program for kids learning to code - a coding school! There's after-school kung fu. There's after-school music lessons, sports, art, tutoring, Chinese, you name it, it's out there. But coding classes for kids? Founded in 2013, we're the first of many, and the largest in Silicon Valley with more locations on the way around the country. The future will be ever more dependent on technology so let's get our young generation ready. Learn to Code, Change the World®.
