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. Like real trees, our students' coding journeys are unique from each other, but all require strong foundations and trunks to support their higher, advanced branches. Need a magnifying glass? Here's a zoomable view.
Custom coding means tracking progress is even more important! Our suite of proprietary tools* does just that. Our Coder Progress and Notes+ systems chart weekly progress through concept tracking and freeform notes. App Reviews track longer term progress by identifying current skills to build their individual Coder Tree®. Finally, our Student Portal is a one-stop shop to see it all and then some! Confused? It's complicated! Get an idea by clicking through a Sample Student's functional Student Portal to see for yourself.

Each year, theCoderSchool partners with the Congressional App Challenge, a nationwide coding contest run by districts of the U.S. Congress. Take a look at our recent winners, or ask about our App Gallery to see more apps!
The Coder School Yorba Linda's popular summer camps are all about coding, fun, and making new friends. Our campers learn how to create games, design websites on a topics of personal interest, and code all kinds of things in Python including music and choose your own adventure stories.
All camps include periodic offline breaks. Students play card games like Uno, chess, foosball, and other fun stuff. Lunch is outdoors and includes active playtime with frisbees, soccer balls, and good ol' fashion tag. We know the importance of a well-rounded, enriching experience for students that includes indoor, outdoor, online, and offline activities.
We can't wait for summer so we can host your kids again! We are planning ahead with hopes that Orange County Health Care Agency (HCA) will allow in-person camps by June. If, however, HCA has not given the green light by then, we will again pivot to the virtual camps that worked so well in 2020. While virtual camps aren't the same as in-person camps, we have learned a lot over this last year and have new ways to structure our camps so that they're fun, educational, and engaging.
Thanks for visiting our site, and please stay tuned. We will update this page as we hear more information about the Covid vaccine progress and what that means for our ability to host 2021 summer camps.

Hey parents, love our school? Give us a review!
Hello! My name is Nancy Badillo, I am the GM at The Coder School Yorba Linda. I didn’t have access to the internet at an early age, but my parents would buy programs to assist with my typing skills. I later was able to afford my own games and bought The Sims and Rollercoaster Tycoon. These games fueled my interest in gaming, and in computer hardware technology, especially when it came time to upgrade my computer! When I was in middle school, I taught myself how to use CSS/HTML to edit my MySpace profile. From there, I decided that I wanted to pursue computer science. I am currently working towards my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Software Engineering at California State University, Fullerton. I am really excited to help share my passion for technology with anyone who wants to learn. I believe that everyone should be aware of the many different options that technology has to offer, since it is intertwined with many different lines of recreational and professional interests. Please feel free to reach out and chat with me about your child’s progression, and questions or concerns you might have about your child, technology, and the like!
Hi there. My name is Irving Chen and I am the owner of The Coder School - Yorba Linda. My first coding experience was on an Apple IIe coding a dice game in BASIC. I’ve spent over 10 years in international business, focusing on engineering and fabrication. Through this, I have seen first hand how coding has changed all aspects of business: from communications to manufacturing automation to logistics tracking. I am excited to share my real world experiences with up and coming coders and help them understand how technology will change the future business landscape. It all starts here at The Coder School - Yorba Linda!!
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Find out more about how to apply today.
