Hey Milpitas!! Whether you're a seasoned veteran at Oracle or your kids go to Milpitas High, we know that you know code! Considered the crossroads of Silicon Valley, we're excited to have a Coder School here!
Coder School is a new kind of after school coding program that focuses on the individuality of each student, customizing our teachings depending on their skills and the desires. From graphical languages like Snap or Scratch to more powerful stuff like Python or Javascript and even the advanced coding like Java and C++, we're ready to inspire you and amaze you. Drop us a line, check out our video below, or swing by to find out more!
Week | Format | Camp | Ages | Price |
6/30-7/3 | 4-Day Full Day Summer Camp | Python Startup (In-Person) Python is one of the most popular languages worldwide for teaching and real-world applications, including AI. Using an online Python platform, we’ll explore some fundamental concepts, then dive into fun projects that involve creative thinking and more complex coding. In addition to developing general problem solving and logical thinking skills, students will learn Python syntax (loops, variables, line structure, etc), function calls, Cartesian Coordinates, and more! This is a four day camp. Learn More Ages 9+ | Ages 9+ | (make sure to use discount code 200OFF) |
6/30-7/3 | 4-Day Full Day Summer Camp | WebRox (In-Person) Everything's about the web these days, and that's why Web Rocks! Code with all the base web technologies like HTML/CSS and Javascript, learn how the internet and file transfers work, and get your pages uploaded for public viewing! This is a four day camp.

7/7-7/11 | Full Day Summer Camp | Java Intro (In-Person) Ready to take the intro Java course in High School? Our Java camp is a little different than our other camps in that it’s focused on following a curriculum, for the purpose of helping our students get a head start on the Intro Java course in high school. While we’re not likely to complete the entire course during just the camp, we’ll go as far as we can based on the skillset of the campers we get. This camp is aimed at those who are about to start the intro course, or just want to get a head start with some curriculum-based Java learning!

Hi everyone! My name is John and I'm the General Manager of theCoderSchool in Milpitas. I wish there was something like theCoderSchool when I was growing up. My after school activities were sports, church, and piano. I did not start programming until I arrived to college, where I discovered how substantial it is to learn how to code. I graduated from Stanford with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and earned an online MBA.
I really enjoy web development, such as Progressive Websites and Hybrid Mobile Apps. I like that the technology has progressed so that developing an html5 website gives you the features of offline use, displays great on any size screen, scales easily, and even deploys to native app stores like iOS or Android. With students, other than web development, I enjoy teaching the pygame library using the Python language on the Raspberry Pi and various other projects on the board. I also like to cover robots and program them using C code on an Arduino board. I can be reached at john@thecoderschool.com.
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Shoot us an email with resumé to see if we're a fit!
As you and your family consider coding programs, it helps to keep in mind:
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.
