Hello Mission Viejo and south Orange County! The #1 after-school coding program for ages 7-18 in Silicon Valley is now open in Mission Viejo. Whether your coder is brand new to Scratch or already building distributed Python programs, we can help him or her get to the next level. Unlike other after-school coding programs, our talented coaches are trained to tailor the lessons to your kid’s interests. This unique approach fosters a lifelong passion for building technology. Our program will equip your child with critical skills (logic, breaking complex problems into manageable chunks, working with others towards an end goal) and confidence valuable in any future career.
Can't get your kids from their daytime school to our after-school classes? We have the solution!! We have partnered with "HopSkipDrive" (a ride-sharing service exclusively for kids) to provide very safe and secure transportation for your children from one school to another. We'll even provide a discount coupon worth up to $20 for their first ride if you enroll your student in one of our coding programs.

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.

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.

Hi! My name is Will and I'm the interim General Manager of theCoderSchool Mission Viejo. I took my first programming class with my dad at community college when I was just 14. I can tell you first-hand how knowing how to code has put me ahead of my peers throughout my education and career. I love working with kids and am truly grateful for the opportunity to inspire and teach the next generation of innovators! I studied Computer Engineering at CalPoly, SLO. I've been an analyst at Deloitte Consulting, 2nd engineer/1st product manager at TaskRabbit (Silicon Valley startup with $30M+ in VC funding), and founder of several consumer web/app startups in San Francisco. Got questions about the school? Email me at mv@thecoderschool.com.
