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.

Hey parents, love our school? Give us a review!
Greetings! My name is McGrail Reynolds and I am thrilled to be joining theCoderSchool Walnut Creek family as the General Manager! Originally from Chicago, I moved to The San Francisco Bay area for college where I fell in love with tech scene and have since built my career with various IT Administration, Web Development and Software Engineering roles.
Throughout my high school and college years, I also spent time as a tutor where my passion for learning and teaching first ignited. I firmly believe that programming is a skill that is taking root in every single industry and before long will be a requirement to have some coding background no matter what path your kiddo chooses to pursue. At theCoderSchool, we strive to help kids of all skill levels learn how to code in a fun, interactive environment where they can move at their own pace.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with ANY questions about our programs, or just stop on by our office to meet me and see how things work in action! I so look forward to working with you and your family to continue inspiring that passion for coding! Email me anytime at mcgrail@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. Find out more about how to apply today.
