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.

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.

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 Winter, Spring & Summer camps! Our In-Person camps are run in our school from 9am-3pm Mon-Fri. Enrollment in our In-Person camps is strictly limited due to the need to create a safe and socially distanced learning environment for our kids and staff. We will enroll kids on a first come, first served basis until our limit for each camp is met and afterwards we’ll add those interested to our waiting list or we encourage you to explore our Online camps. Kids bring their own lunches and water bottles and we'll take care of the rest!
Our Online camps run from 9:30am-2:30pm with an hour long lunch break. Online camp enrollment is also limited to create a great online learning experience for all and it’s also filled on a first come first served basis!
Some of our In-Person and all of our Online camps require students to bring their own computer. A Windows or Mac laptop or PC is required to take part in our camps, no tablets.
During our camps, kids code throughout the week then demo their week's creations later that afternoon. What better way to get your kids out of your hair during the breaks and in the summer?!

Hey parents, love our school? Give us a review!
Hi I'm Divya and I am the General Manager of theCoderSchool - East Cobb! I am a highly motivated strategic thinker with 8 years of experience in communications, public relations, training and development. I have a bachelors in Chemistry and Masters in Communication Management. I am a peoples’ person, a patient listener, proactive worker with positive and contagious energy to work with full enthusiasm. I have extensive experience in working with school aged kids and have successfully managed after-school programs in Sandy Springs area.
In the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. I believe after school programs succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society and help students develop their capabilities in technology to advance to a greater level. theCoderSchool is the best place to provide your child with this kind of opportunity where they can get an early start toward an amazing career! If you have any questions please email me at divya@thecoderschool.com, I'd love to speak with you soon!
Hello! My name is Jerry and I am Co-Owner of theCoderSchool in East Cobb. Growing up I loved to play video games, but my mother would always tell me that I should learn how to create video games - not just play them. I took her advice and studied Computer Engineering in college which taught me circuit design and coding and led me to a career spent leading teams that have built applications on mobile PC’s, websites, desktop computers and smartphones. I credit my career success to my mother's early advice, to always learn what’s happening behind the scenes. My wife Kim and I are excited to bring this approach to learning technology to kids in the East Cobb area with theCoderSchool and believe it will unlock a world of opportunity for them to thrive in our technology-driven society. Want to learn more? Feel free to contact me directly at jerry@thecoderschool.com.
Welcome to our site! My name is Kim and I am Co-Owner of theCoderSchool in East Cobb. I truly believe that for a child to develop into a successful adult they must be challenged to think critically and problem solve; skills that will help them master ANY topic. I was drawn to theCoderSchool philosophy because it emphasizes the development of these skills while teaching kids to code in an environment where they are encouraged to learn and create.
With a PhD in Community Psychology, my research has primarily focused on youth development. I have spent over 15 years providing organizational and database development consulting services to non-profit organizations across the nation. I look forward to using my experience to help create the next generation of leaders.
