Welcome to our school, welcome to your community! We hope you will think of this as your second home -- a place to learn and have fun in a caring and supportive environment! We are Nicole Chang and Denis Fasquelle, wife-husband co-owner team. We are so excited to bring theCoderSchool to the Los Angeles area! We are joined by our two young adult children and two dogs - Chuck the Chihuahua and Pebbles the Pooch. Our son Cyprien studies Product Design and Computer Science at Stanford and our daughter Cybèle studies East Asian Studies at Harvard. A little about us – we come from a family of educators. Nicole grew up in New Haven, CT where her father was a Professor at Yale, and Mom an educator for the talented and gifted. Denis hails from Paris, France where his mother taught music at the Conservatory of Lyon. We have lived abroad much of our lives in Europe and Asia where we were senior business executives and entrepreneurs in the finance, retail, hospitality, and media industries. As parents, we believe in the importance of equipping today’s youth (and yesterday’s youth - we teach adults too!) with the tools they need not only for their personal success and careers, but to change the world and make it a better place for the generations to come. Success involves developing a creative mindset, the ability to think critically, and having confidence — what we call the 3C's. We believe in theCoderSchool philosophy of teaching to code through a personalized entrepreneurial approach, learning in a fun and supportive environment, encouraging self-expression, and fostering a family-oriented community. We hope you will join our community and we look forward to working with you and your children to create an amazing learning environment. If you have any questions, please contact us anytime at pasadena@thecoderschool.com.
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Shoot us an email with resumé to see if we're a fit!
