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.

My name is Paul and I'm the General Manager and Owner at theCoderSchool in Milpitas. I graduated with a BSc in Computer Science from California State University, Chico and spent the next 30 years working as a Software Engineer/Technical Lead at high tech companies such as Bell Northern Research, Nortel and Cisco Systems right here in the Silicon Valley. It has always been a dream of mine to spend part of my working career giving back to my community. Therefore, I am grateful to have the opportunity to be part of theCoderSchool which allows me to introduce technology in a fun way to our next generation of innovators and technology leaders.
Kids love using technology, coding gives them an opportunity to focus on something they enjoy in a new way. They will no longer simply play the game on their computer or phone, they will break down information into manageable parts and discover how it works and even how to make it better. Most importantly, coding is a doorway to developing a range of cross-curricular skills. It can be a collaborative process, giving kids the opportunity to work together, solve problems and evaluate each other's work. It will develop problem solving, patience, resilience, logical thinking, creativity and communication skills. Hence, it can be a great asset in all manner of subjects and prepare them for the future, no matter what career they eventually want to pursue.
