Year-Round Weekly Coding Classes for Kids In-person & Remote offered by theCoderSchool South Bay. Offering services to the communities of Los Gatos, Campbell, Saratoga and San Jose.
We are offering both In-person & Remote zoom coding lessons. Our students receive quality instruction from our Code Coaches each week with a very low ratio of 2-students-to-1-instructor either 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.

Hi, I’m Jim, General Manager for theCoderSchool South Bay. I have a BS EECS from U.C. Berkeley and spent many years in the tech industry. Several years ago, I shifted gears to get involved in something that really matters to me and that could make a real difference. Since then, I have had the opportunity to expose thousands of students to a variety of STEM topics (most of which included coding in some form) and help set them off on their coding adventure. I am really excited to be at theCoderSchool because now, not only do I have the opportunity to get kids excited about coding, I also have the opportunity to influence their coding adventure.
I view coding as much more than getting a computer to do what you want it to. As Steve Jobs famously said, “Everyone should learn how to code. Because it teaches you how to think.” I think about what Jonathan Buchanan, the youngest developer at that time (10 years if age) who had an app in the Apple App Store stated in a 2012 Ted Talk where he explained that, “learning to code also taught him creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, organization, dealing with failure and setback, among other things directly related to coding such as logic and design.” I really enjoy working with students as they continue on their coding adventure and pick up these empowering life skills. I’d love to hear from you any time at jjohnston@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!
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.
What is theCoderSchool? We are an after-school drop-off (and virtual) program for kids
learning to code - a coding school! There's after-school kung fu. There's after-school music
lessons, sports, art, tutoring, Chinese, you name it, it's out there. But coding classes for kids? We're among the first of many, and the largest in Silicon Valley with more locations on the
way around the country. The future will be ever more dependent on technology so let's get
our young generation ready. Learn to Code, Change the World®. Check out our Carrollwood, Westerville, and Folsom location or all locations.
