Looking for the best coding school for kids near Alpharetta, GA? theCoderSchool Johns Creek provides personalized coding classes, AI education, robotics, game development, Python, Scratch, and summer camps for students ages 7–18. Families from Alpharetta, Peachtree Corners, Suwanee, Cumming, and Milton choose us for individualized instruction with experienced Code Coaches.
Coding isn't just about technology — it's a workout for critical and logical thinking. It's uniquely built around solving problem after problem to achieve a goal. This means students build skills that pay off in school, careers, and everyday life — especially in the age of AI.
Yes, AI can code — and it's made building software faster and cheaper than ever. But faster and cheaper doesn't kill demand; it explodes it. Retail, services, food, and even tech will all need much more software and therefore many more people who can build it.
AI lets everyone build software, but the best builders will understand coding. Like a surgeon who must master biology or a pilot who must understand aerodynamics, tomorrow's technologists need deep roots before they can branch out — and those roots start with code.

**CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING** Two of our brand new AI camps in one week! Monday and Tuesday it’s Toy Story: campers bring 2 or 3 favorite toys and turn them into the stars of their own animated movie. Anyone can type a sentence into AI. We teach what real filmmakers know: how to build a story; draw a storyboard; pick the right camera shot and edit it all together with their own voices and sound effects. Wednesday and Friday it’s Super Smash Family: kids build a Smash Bros style fighting game where every fighter is someone in their family. AI turns family photos (totally optional) into the fighters; and the kids write the real code that decides how each one runs; jumps and hits. On Friday parents are invited for the red carpet premiere and the Family Smash Tournament. Windows or Mac laptop required; no tablets. This one runs Monday through Friday and we are closed on Thanksgiving Day. Ages 8-12 | Ages 8-12 | ||

**CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING** NO SCREENS ALL WEEK! Calling all future scientists! In our Jurassic Park Science Lab; campers hatch real live Triops; tiny creatures that have been around since before the dinosaurs; and raise them in their own eco dome. They’ll dig up fossils; crack open rocks to find the gems hidden inside; and explore it all up close with real microscopes. Every camper keeps a scientist’s field notebook; and on the last day they present their best discovery at our Science Fair. No laptop needed! This one runs Monday through Friday and we are closed on Thanksgiving Day. Ages 6-9 | Ages 6-9 | ||

**CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING** In our HeroCraft A.I. Scratch Camp kids start with a hand-drawn sketch of their favorite movie or TV hero; campers will use cutting-edge artificial intelligence to refine their artwork. Next; they’ll bring their characters to life in a coding project as interactive sprites. Also during this camp; the kids will get a chance to use our VR headsets to create their own sculptures and artwork in virtual reality that they can then export and print on our 3D printer! Finally in Our Robots & Roblox camp we teach kids about robotics and coding using the awesome mBot coding robot. Kids will assemble their own robot kit and we’ll code them using Scratch to create some entry level artificial intelligence and we’ll have some robot competitions they’ll love. This one runs Monday through Friday and we are closed on Thanksgiving Day. Ages 6-9 | Ages 6-9 | ||

**CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING** Our ‘Python & A.I. Bootcamp’ is designed for kids who are new to Python and Artificial Intelligence or A.I. We spend the camp teaching kids the fundamentals of the Python programming language and we introduce them to Google Teachable Machine which teaches them how to train and build their own A.I. models; it’s really incredible! Python is one of the hottest computer programming languages in the world and it’s used in everyday applications. We love Python because it’s also one of the easiest languages for kids to learn because of its simplicity. Artificial Intelligence or A.I. is everywhere these days and it’s producing some of the most insane technology we’ve seen in a generation; and we can't wait to introduce it to this generation of young coders!

**CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING** Your kid loves Pokemon AND Roblox? Say less. In our Pokemon VR camp kids will use Roblox Studio to build their own creature-collecting game from scratch; we’re talking custom monsters; battle systems; evolution mechanics; the whole thing. Then here’s where it gets WILD: they put on our Meta Quest VR headsets and literally walk through the world they just built in full virtual reality. No other coding school in Atlanta is doing this. Zero experience needed and we guarantee they’ll be talking about this camp for months! This one runs Monday through Friday and we are closed on Thanksgiving Day. Ages 8+ | Ages 8+ | ||

**CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING** Teens from all four of our Atlanta schools team up online for our first AI Shark Tank League camp! On day one campers find a real problem that a real person has; like a parent’s small business; a teacher or a sports team; and dream up a product or service to fix it. Then they build it with code and AI; test it on real users and fix what breaks; just like a real startup. On the last day every camper pitches live to a panel of Sharks (our coaches and their fellow campers); who ask the tough questions and decide who wins. No coding experience needed; we teach every step live online. Windows or Mac laptop with a webcam required. This one runs Monday through Friday and we are closed on Thanksgiving Day.

You know how the toys in Toy Story come alive the second everyone leaves the room? This week your kid’s toys do the same thing; and your child is the director! Campers bring 2 or 3 favorite toys and a few family photos (totally optional); and the toys; your child and your family all become the animated cast. Anyone can type a sentence into AI. We teach what real filmmakers know: how to build a story; draw a storyboard; choose the right camera shot; direct the AI until the scene is right; then edit it all together with music; their own voices and sound effects they record themselves. Kids also crew on each other’s movies as voice actors and sound artists; just like a real studio. On the last day we roll out the red carpet; and every director takes the stage to show their movie and explain how they made it. Windows or Mac laptop required; no tablets. This one runs Monday through Thursday and wraps on Christmas Eve. Ages 7-12 | Ages 7-12 | ||

Minecraft is a kid builder’s dream. But what if we could make some of those dreams a reality? In the Minecraft 3D Print Camp we’ll teach the kids to build some complex projects together in Minecraft and then we’ll save them in a format that can be printed in a smaller form using a 3D printer. We’ll even print out their creations for a small fee covering costs! This one runs Monday through Thursday and wraps on Christmas Eve. Ages 6-9 | Ages 6-9 | ||

What if your kid built their own Super Smash Bros... and every fighter was someone in your family? In Super Smash Family; campers turn family photos into game characters with AI; then write the real code that makes the game work: how each fighter runs and jumps; how hard they hit; how far they fly; and what happens when little brother shows up as the villain. They’ll give Mom; Dad and the dog their own special moves; record their own sound effects; and program the brain of a computer-controlled final boss (hi; Dad). Anyone can ask AI to make a game. We teach kids to understand every line; test it; fix it and explain it. And yes; we play the real Super Smash Bros. at breaks! The last day is the Family Smash Tournament: parents come in and battle in the game their kid coded; and every camper takes it home. Windows or Mac laptop required; no tablets.

Hey parents, love our school? Give us a review!
Hi I'm Divya and I am the General Manager of theCoderSchool - Johns Creek! 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!
Welcome to our site! My name is Kim and I am Co-Owner of theCoderSchool in Johns Creek and 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.

Hello! My name is Jerry and I am Co-Owner of theCoderSchool in Johns Creek and 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 Johns Creek 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.
