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.

Hey parents, love our school? Give us a review!
My name is Emily Thornock, and I am the General Manager and Owner of theCoderSchool Gilbert. As an active Gilbert parent with four children, I know how important those after school hours are. As parents, we want our children to be prepared for a successful and happy future, while our kids just want to have fun in the moment. Why not accomplish both with after school coding classes?
“Learn to code. Change the world.” It isn't just a tagline – it’s the truth! I spent years at a major Public Relations firm in New York working exclusively with technology clients. As a Technology Account Executive, I saw something that connected seemingly disparate products - whether my clients were developing 3D television screens, or connecting home devices like smart fridges and thermostats, or promoting the latest in graphics technology – it all required coding.
I don’t know about you, but my children are very plugged in. Technology is a part of their lives like no generation before them- whether on their laptops in school, or using an iPad/tablet at home, to filming themselves and making movies, to playing video games or watching too much YouTube – screens abound. When my then 9 year old son told me he wanted to be a Youtuber when he grew up, I knew right then we had to change his relationship with technology. I wanted to make technology start working for him.
By learning to code, children study complex ideas using strategy and logic. Their brains are creating new neural pathways and synapses with each coding language they master! The best part is that it doesn’t feel like a class, it feels like they are just creating computer games and Apps with friends.
I am passionate about our kids here in Gilbert and could not be more excited to bring computer coding to our town. I hope you will join us!
