Looking for the best coding school for kids near Belle Mead, NJ? theCoderSchool Montgomery provides personalized coding classes, AI education, robotics, game development, Python, Scratch, and summer camps for students ages 7–18. Families from Hillsborough, Princeton, Somerset, South Brunswick, and Hopewell 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.

Think. Build. Solve. Take Scratch to the next level in this engaging camp designed for beginner to advanced Scratch users. Campers will transform from game players into game creators by building projects inspired by LaBubu World, Geometry Dash, and Getting Over It. Using Scratch, developed by MIT and proven to support emerging computational thinking, students strengthen core coding skills including variables, loops, conditionals, events, object-based design, and debugging. As a bonus, campers will explore speed cubing strategies that reinforce logic, pattern recognition, and problem-solving. Ages 8+ | Ages 8+ | $599 (4 Spots Remaining) | |

Combine creativity, coding, and engineering in this exciting camp for grades 3–8! Campers will design and program game-inspired projects and bring them to life using 3D printing technology. From creating characters to crafting interactive components, students explore the fundamentals of design, problem-solving, and spatial thinking. By the end of the week, campers will have tangible, playable creations they designed themselves. Ages 8+ | Ages 8+ | $649 (4 Spots Remaining) |
Hey parents, love our school? Give us a review!
Hello there fellow super parent! We're Michael and Dominique, co-owners of theCoderSchool Montgomery. As a local family, we are excited to bring this dedicated coding program to our students.
Michael has always had a passion for helping kids learn. As a young man he started a youth group, Positivity, that sought to harness the energy of his peers to have a meaningful impact on the community. As a graduate student Michael designed and taught several courses at The University of Iowa. As a law student, Michael continued to engage in childhood education and noticed an emerging paradigm shift in the way a newer generation processed information. The seed was planted. Michael became committed to become a part of something meaningful that could positively impact the lives of our kids. theCoderSchool Montgomery is the perfect vehicle to facilitate that pursuit.
Dominique has been dedicated to the enrichment of young people for the past 30 years. She has led the development and delivery of nationally recognized K-12 educational programs for some of the most trusted names in learning including Scholastic, ACT, and Lakeshore Learning. Dominique is very knowledgeable in the areas of literacy, after school programming, summer learning, 21st century skills and STEAM. Through her experience, she has helped parents and educators connect teaching practices with relevant research and resources. She brings a creative energy and deep commitment to helping children reach their full potential and looks forward to leading this new environment of innovation, creativity, and enrichment for all of the students and families of theCoderSchool Montgomery.
To watch how coding drives innovation is like watching the future unfold. There is an undeniable beauty in seeing students take an idea that they have, make that idea come to life, and then share that idea with millions of people. Montgomery, Princeton and Hillsborough are at the cutting edge of educational innovation and we are excited about bringing this offering to our kids—including our own two tech savvy young girls. We can be reached anytime at myoung@thecoderschool.com and dyoung@thecoderschool.com.
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Shoot us an email with resumé to see if we're a fit!
