My son’s really happy with the fun and engaging approach of Coach Andre. My son is enjoying his lessons Python coding program and I hope that continues. My only suggestion for improvement if any would be to have regular tests and practice homework rigor in place which will reinforce the learning. All in all- very good service and education being imparted.

TheCoderSchool in San Ramon has been a fantastic learning experience for our 9-year-old son. He wanted to explore coding, and theCoderSchool has been able to help him navigate his interests and help him get building within a very brief timeframe. The instructors are sincere, approachable and very supportive. We also receive detailed email reports every week regarding the progress our son is making, allowing us to keep track of activities and growth opportunities. Very happy with theCoderSchool.

My twins (boy and girl age 10) have been attending for the last 4 weeks and have enjoyed it so far. They have moved from scratch to python pretty quickly (they had some familiarity with scratch already) and seem to be engaged during their sessions with their coach.What they know so far is more at the how to use vs how it works (pretty sure they don’t know what object oriented programming is, or methods, etc), but they are learning in an accessible way that keeps them engaged. I’m hoping that exposing them this early will keep them interested to go deeper into coding and/or computer science as they grow up.The kids have had two coaches so far (because I changed their schedule) and the office personnel have been easy to work with.Overall, I’m happy The Coder School and would recommend it.

My son Aaron started coding class a little more than a month ago and just LOVES it! Being Computer Science major in undergrad, it’s super amazing to see my 9yo learn the logic of programming with Scratch as they can see immediate outcomes of the code they write. Coach Simeon is super awesome and it’s been so great to listen to Aaron talk about what he has learned week over week. Thank you for giving our young kiddos the opportunity to explore their developer skills and analytical thinking!!

This is my 10-year-old son’s absolute favorite place to learn coding. He has attended weekly for 3 years, in-person and remotely, equally great experiences! He gets to choose his own projects, so he can be creative. A highly knowledgeable teacher guides him along the way to making his visions reality and then helps him choose a project at the next level. In his semi-private sessions, he has created many fun and exciting projects from video games to animations and digital art. He loves his longtime teacher, Eamon, for his kindness and spirit of fun, as well as for his excellent knowledge of coding. Eamon has even developed a special curriculum upon request that allows my son to combine learning two different coding languages at different levels in one class in a way that feels integrated and lots of fun. The weekly email reports Eamon sends to parents are detailed and very helpful for keeping track of a childs learning progress. Communication with the owner, Dede, is always easy, helpful, and lovely. She is a great resource for advice about many topics related to my son’s education and we have benefited from her insights multiple times. When my son has wanted to code with a friend, or has had a schedule change, these requests have always been graciously accommodated. It is obvious that everyone at coder school cares about our family and our son’s education. We highly recommend coder school to anyone who wants to know the joy of coding.

My 10 year old son has been going to The Coder School for about 4 months now and we love it. He gets a lot of personalized attention and I love that I get feedback right after each session. The people that work there are friendly and professional and I feel comfortable dropping off my son.

My 9 year old daughter LOVES this class. She takes it with a good friend and its something she looks forward to every week. Coach Eamon is patient, thoughtful, and indulgent when it comes to letting them explore their interests (anyone wanna make more Pokemon games?) In fact, its so much fun that I think she forgets she is actually learning, but she is! And I feel happy knowing she is learning skills that will be valuable in life.

My kids love Coder school! They’ve been going for 6 months and are excited to keep learning more. The code coaches are great and send a weekly update so I know what each kid is learning. My kids are so comfortable there and enjoy everything about the experience. The owner DeDe is friendly and organized and makes everyone feel welcome.They have group classes, individual coaching, and my 12 year old really likes the 2 students with 1 coach ratio. There’s something for everyone!

My children have been taking coding lessons and joining in summer camps at the Coder School in San Ramon for several years. The coaches are engaging, creative, and very knowledgeable about what they teach.As my children advance in skills they are paired with similar peers, and the coaches move them along together doing enjoyable activities. My children look forward to their weekly lessons. Meeting with our coaches virtually during this pandemic has been super easy from home. We have enjoyed working with all of our coaches, and they have many ways to make the learning fun. We highly recommend the Coder School!

My seven year old daughter has been a student for a few months now and absolutely loves it. I was a little concerned she may be too young for it, but the one on one virtual teaching has been great and Ive been amazed with her progress. She gives her coach an idea for a game she would like to create and then he walks her through all of the coding to do it. She actually created a fully functional video game after a few sessions - its obviously very basic but still, its a functioning game! Shes always so proud of her progress and I think shes developing a very valuable skill set that shell be able to use in a variety of ways. The Director at the San Ramon school that we use is also great when it comes to communicating with me and has accommodated a few schedule changes without any problems.

My son has been taking classes at The Coder School for the last year. He loves his classes. There is a lot of flexibility with the projects they complete and the instructors are fun to work with. Communication about classes, billing, rescheduling is easy. He wishes we had an unlimited coder school budget! Wants to work there when he is old enough. Highly recommend.

My son has been enjoying his semi private lessons with The Coder School. It is the only extracurricular activity he has right now and I’m so happy that he has discovered a passion, during quarantine. The instructor is always on-time and virtual lessons have worked out well. I love getting a detailed report of what he learned and how he is progressing!

We have been with the coder school for a little over the month. My 11 year old LOVES it! He has had an awesome coach who sends me notes after every class. The notes are so personalized and feel like they are really engaging and getting to know my kid. The one-on-one lessons have taught my son SO much in such a short time. He’s loving the M.I.T. Scratch platform and he excitedly shows us what he’s created very week. His coach also tells us that he’s working on his own time and creating games to share with them. I’m really blown away by how much he has learned in such a short time. Recently, scheduling had us switch coaches and yesterday was my son’s first time with the new coach. I was worried bc he had such a great repoire with Talia, but he loves his new coach William, as well! He was worried, but last night gave me the thumbs up and said he was happy with his new coach and excited to work with him, too. Dede has always been great about communicating with me. I can’t recommend this company enough.

Our family loves The Coder School. My twin 8 years olds look forward to their coding class every week. Dede, one of the San Ramon school owners, always greets us with a smile and encourages my kids to explore and develop their ideas. The instructors that weve had are also very engaging and personable. Would highly recommend!

Our experience with them started with my Jr. hi son, who from all accounts was enjoying and learning a lot from his class. This was evident by his high marks on his AP Com Sci class. My 9-yo started with SR city youngster computer camp, which he enjoyed immensely! When the camp ended, he begged me to enroll him to more classes. Hes back at it and learning and having fun. I can see his sense of accomplishment & confidence increasing after each class.

Both my children have been going here for a year. They have learned so much in that time, from html to python. Their coach moves them at their pace and makes it fun. I find my kids coding at home for fun and they love going to their weekly sessions. They’ve had a couple of different coaches and all of them have been amazing. Dede, the administrator, is amazing, pairs the kids up with coaches who the kids will work well with. I can’t praise them enough, and am excited to see how much the kids learn in the future!

I really appreciate Dede for her commitment to the kids and willing to work with me regarding issues that may come up. She’s always responsive and solve any issues quickly. Thanks Dede! My son loves his coach Adam! I can tell when my son truly likes a coach and he’s pretty picky with who. You’re awesome Adam, stay cool! If you’re wondering on signing up your child, I would recommend The Coder School. Plus, they give trial classes!

My son is extremely excited every week for class. Without the online option we never would have been able to participate. We have been looking for a coder school for a long time and we found a good one. Dede is easy to talk to and she understands if you have any questions. Thank you for making these classes available.

My son has been attending San Ramon Coding School for over a year. Flexible hours after school and weekend made it possible. He enjoyed the class and coach Harsha has been great. Dede was very accommodated to flexible schedule. The school followed Contra Costa health guideline and switched to online classes promptly. Schedule reminders are sent out weekly. Its well managed. We are very please with the staff and coaches.

It was the first time my son (14 year old) will try out coding and we enrolled him in four camps at Coder School. Java, python, and the 2 game development programs. He enjoyed them all but developed a special preference for either java or python. Coder School made the summer camp experience fun and doable for a newcomer like him. CS also email reports on what the kids did during the week and sent the link for their project (when I couldn’t come to the parent visit schedule). It was great to see my son’s coding activity (I am no coder and it looks legit ;-) Dede, the manager, was more than helpful and encouraging the whole time. Quick to respond to emails and answer my questions. You can tell from the staff (when I first inquired) their passion to teach the kids about coding. We have signed up for the monthly after school program with 2:1 student/teacher ratio, which i think is a good thing to get really hands-on and customized training. ;-)

We have had a very good experience with Dede the general, manager on initial trial lesson and scheduling with the right instructor personality wise. the kids love their instructor and are enjoying the class. We have almost completed 6 months and will be renewing for another 6 months for sure. Additionally, Dede now wants to start a middle school coding team to enter into competitions and am excited to see how the kids get more confident with their coding skills.

Honestly, I was hesitant to sign my kids up for more screen time during the pandemic, but my son has been begging to try coding. Im glad I did. Its creative, develops problem solving skills, logic and reasoning. Theres some math in there too. Much more interesting and worthwhile than I thought it would be. The teachers are knowledgable and the classes run smoothly. Its been a good thing all around.

My son has been attending the coder school for about 6months or more. While hes learning code, he is unable to code on his own nor does he have homework to ensure what hes learning at the class is instilled. There is no progress report with the parents provided anymore, or consistentcy in the teachers the last several months. It started off good, but the quality of hte classes seem to have gone down over time. I hope to see improvements soon or will need to reconsider a different program over the summer.

My coach Harsha understands all of my questions and I barely waste any time communicating my ideas and questions with him. He doesnt waste time and so far hes always had something new ready for me to learn whenever I exhaust one topic. He understands that Id rather focus on my one game than make a bunch of small projects, and I learn that way.
