Year-Round Weekly Coding Classes for Kids In-person & Remote offered by theCoderSchool San Ramon.
In response to the COVID-19 situation, we are offering In-person & Remote zoom coding lessons. Your students can still receive quality instruction from our Code Coaches each week with a very low ratio of 2-students-to-1-instructor at our school or from the safety of your own home.
Small student to coach ratio (2:1), customized project-based coding lessons engage students, We work with each coder in their area of interest and work at their own pace. Learn Scratch, Python, C++, Unity, Java, HTML, Javascript, CSS, Minecraft, Roblox, Raspberry Pi, AI, App dev, and other technologies. Where do your interests take you?
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 the 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.

Hello! My name is Alex. As an East Bay native, homeschool, and software engineer, I know what it means to find your own path in this face-paced tech world. Growing up I taught myself programming working with Lego Mindstorms and Game Maker. In high school, I started taking math and science classes at DVC, before going full time in college. I transferred to UC Santa Cruz for a degree in Computer Science and then spent several years as a Software Engineer at a variety of companies working on projects like smart farming technology and CRISPR gene editing research.
I have always loved tutoring friends and family members whether I was in high school, college, or working. I enjoyed it so much that I switched to teaching and tech education full time. It is so exciting to see the same curiosity and discovery in kids learning about tech that I have experienced. Working at theCoderSchool San Ramon I am so envious of all the great learning tools and resources kids have access to. Growing up I would have loved to be part of a program like this. Feel free to reach out with any questions you have. I am always excited to talk! alex@thecoderschool.com
Hi! I’m Dede Leonard and I’m the District Manager of Tri-Valley CS with schools in Pleasanton, Irvine, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Mission Viejo and now South Bay! As a homeschooler and avid equestrian, I enjoyed advocating for passion driven opportunities for youth to realize their potential and explore their interests.
I watched the technological revolution unfold, expand and encompass all aspects of our daily life. Early exposure to computer languages and coding concepts empower and enrich lives. After graduating from UC Berkeley, I spent over 20 years working as a product manager for Oracle, HP and Motorola and as an internet freelancer helping small businesses expand and improve through the use of technology.
I opened theCoderSchool San Ramon in 2018 to bring coding to kids in the Tri-Valley area and beyond. Our communities recognize the power of code. Learning to create with code empowers our next generations to become problem solvers and grow critical thinking skills.
Whether it is finding your passion, competing in a horse show or learning technology skills to allow self-expression, I am excited to be a part of that journey for kids and their families. Happy, confident kids become adults who see a world that is open to all possibilities! Contact me anytime at dede@thecoderschool.com.
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Shoot us an email with resumé to see if we're a fit!
