My son attended the Coder school for more than 1 year. First of all, this is a great place for kids to learn coding skills. Teachers are patient and knowledgeable. They fine-tune material to your kid level. Second, i LOVE how school administrators communicate. Prompt, to the point, and any issues (like last minute session reschedule) are handled without making you feel stressed. This location owner (Marcel) really listens and it feels great. Highly recommended!! read more

My grandson has really enjoyed going to The Coder School. The classes are fun, hands-on, and keep him interested the whole time. He looks forward to going each week and loves sharing what he's learned when he gets home. Gabriel has been a great teacher--patient, kind, and really good at keeping an 11-year-old focused! We really appreciate everything they've taught him and highly recommend this school for any kid who loves to learn and be creative. read more

My kid has been attending the coder school for a couple of years and he has loved it! He's learned so much and enjoys the teachers there. I also like that we receive a summary of the class each week to know what my kid is learning and creating. Highly recommend the coder school to any families who are interested in having their kids learn how to code. My kiddo started learning on scratch and then advanced to python. Overall it has been a wonderful experience! read more

My kid has been attending the coder school classes for over a year and they are awesome. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. Kids love attending the sessions. The administrators are very helpful in rescheduling the classes even at the last minute. Thanks to the team. I would recommend this school. read more

The BEST coder school in San Diego! No need to look anywhere else. We did our research and THIS is the coder school to attend! The director and educators are top notch! They are supportive, knowledgeable, patient, and they tap into my child's creative part of his brain! They provide a great mentorship program! In this technology driven society, they are building little innovators of the world by having the students use critical thinking, logical thinking, and problem solving skills! I love that this coder school is STEM driven! My little prodigy in the making gets to create stories, games, and animations! His coach tracks his progress and sends us a personalized session note after each session, which my husband and I love! Further, there's so much flexibility! When we signed our son up, they allowed us to pick a date and time that works with our busy schedule. My son always looks forward to coding school! read more

My son really enjoys his coding class with Coach Kaila. We loved the small class size (semi-private), the flexibility to be in-person or virtual (when my son's coach moved and he wanted to continue working with her). The Coder School is great to work with and o would highly recommend them. read more

This staff at this coding school are nothing less than incredible. Care is taken to ensure your child is both challenged and having lots of fun with freedom to create. Joseph (Joey) is gifted with an abundance of patience and a strength in teaching ability - my daughter loves learning with him! Marcel, the owner, is a family man who strives to provide great customer service. Melissa, is extremely helpful and at the ready to answer any questions or concerns you may have - not to mention a warm smile to greet you and your child when you walk in. I highly recommend this location, your child will love it! read more

I couldn't be happier with this coding school. There are few Coder School of SD at different locations, but this place is special because of Marcel (owner) and the staffs he chooses to work with him. He cares and he seems to pick only the best and matches your kids. Since day 1, the kids have been very comfortable and happy with him. He is really easy to talk to, to work with, he cares, and he listens. My kids have been taking his classes and they have had about 2 or 3 other instructors, and they really have no complaint. I know they are learning what they need to learn with Coding and are progressing each week. I have had a couple of emergencies and cancellations, family getting sick, etc. Marcel had always made it easy to cancel and reschedule, it makes a whole lot of difference to be comfortable calling or texting him. read more

My boys took lessons at the Coder School for 4 or 5 years, we all loved it. They will go at the pace of your child. It can be very rigorous for advanced students who have a lot of passion, and it can be more relaxed for children who have less of an interest, but those children will still learn a lot and the teachers will keep them interested, and they might develop passion later. At the least they will know they have the ability to do it if they encounter it later in college or on their job. read more

The owner Marcel was very helpful and accommodating in helping us find the right schedule. The teachers were good in helping my children learn the basics. read more

My son took classes here both before and during the pandemic and always had a great time, not just learning the intricacies of coding but really bonding with the instructors as well. Management was always very engaged & accommodating -- definitely a bit of a rarity these days. Highly recommended! read more

Fantastic and very supportive teachers. Our daughter is able to come home and practice and really enjoys what she is learning! We look forward for her to have more time to learn there! read more

Our son has been attending Coder School at PQ for some time (I believe 8-9 months) and he really enjoys the experience. He really likes the sessions and is eager to attend, of which I take as a great sign. We attend one session a week for 2 on 1 instruction and it's been overall a wonderful experience for him. We receive class notes on what he learned during each visit and he's been very engaged in learning coding. I think it's a great after school activity for children and I would recommend that you try it out, it's a good diversification from a sporting activity that most children particular in. read more

The Coder School is spacious, bright, and clean. Marcel, the owner, is almost always around while two or three instructors work with on coding with the kids. My 9YO was engaged from the outset and challenged each week. He often had one-on-one attention, even though we didn't pay for that. Most impressively, The Coder School gives you a whole sixty minutes when you pay for an hour. Not fifty minutes. Not fifty-five. I don't know any business that does this anymore. Really happy to be there. read more

It's been a couple of years that my son is taking coding classes in the coder school. He has the same teacher and it was much better for him to evolve with her. He started with 7-8 years and has moved from basic block codes at scratch to some python/html/CSS now. The place is very well structured but during the pandemic we've had all classes virtual with no interruptions or Problem. He really enjoy his Saturday's morning as it's the coding class day. I'm convinced that this school, the teacher and the director Marcel, their didactics, the methodology, the patience was key to his incredible performance. Today he was recognized by the school director as a "technology expert" always keen to help his friends and teacher with all computer matter and I'm proud to have done this choice. Thank you!! (I've posted the same comment as in google's review, since I want to be fair with them and praise for their recognition in all venues) read more

Great classes and the ownership is extremely flexible and friendly! Will definitely recommend!

My 8 year old son has been taking classes at The Coder School weekly for the last 3 months. He loves working with his teacher Raija. He has been asking me to sign him up for more classes and asked if the classes could be longer, that's how much he loves it! They make learning programming fun, by having the kids learn coding concepts by programming games. Due to the pandemic, my son has been taking classes virtually, which has been very easy. They send a reminder email before each class with the zoom login. The teacher is always prompt and able to explain concepts at a level that my 8 year old can understand. She is able to cover quite a bit of material in the 1/2 hour class, but according to my son the class goes by too quickly and he would prefer an hour instead. So we be switching to the 1 hour class soon. We look forward to continuing classes with this school for many years to come. read more

This may be a fantastic new addition to school ! Coding and technology is the wave of the future and the more they know, the better. 2 kids to 1 coach, one on one and up to 5 to one coach are whats available. Starting out at 140$mo. I really wish they were better located for us. It is a hike to get there since it's off the 56 at Rancho Peniquitos. Near that 24 hour that you see off the 56. Great owners, started it up north now have like 20 plus I believe. They really support each Franchisee and came down to help out. I love this so much. I can't to try a week camp. If he wasn't so busy with football daily, I would do this now and although they offer a Saturday, it is a lot to have only the weekend off and go to class. He and his friend were so interested and didn't want to go. They have these things to figure out and each one gets harder, it is basic coding and when they got it they were so focused on playing around with the concept. Lots of stations, clean and the coaches we met were young but knowledgeable. read more

See all

as a proactive and working mother Im always looking for creative ways for my son to learn outside the classroom. I found the North County coding class online as there are no local places in the South Bay, My son has been creatively challenged and has learned a ton. the classes and the rteachers are TOP NO/tch, I found the cost to be an excellent value! read more

My son attended Coder School for most of his Elementary school years. Fleuncy in computer languages, like foreign languages, develops rapidly at these developmental ages. Marcel and his team are amazing. Students develop at a pace appropriate to their skill development. Complex concepts are built on top of basic ones. We started with Scratch and built our way to Python and HTML/CSS. These are literaly languages and tools used by professional software developers. With these skills, my son will now be able to excel at his school computer courses and have a headstart on technology in college if he chooses. Even more important, the foundation in coding provides a broader strength in analytics and critical thinking. There are so many benefits to this! I recommend this particular school because of Marcel, the coaching style, and the curriculum. Excellent! read more

Awesome experience working with Marcel and the coaches. We started with a trial lesson, then two lessons per month, and are now moving to three lessons per month. Marcel has made scheduling lessons a breeze and is very accommodating. The session note coaches send out after the lesson are a great way to know what's being taught during the lesson and measure progress. I highly recommend them. read more

My middle school aged son has been going to classes for nearly six months and still loves it. The classes are challenging but at a just right level so he always enjoys it.

My kids love it here!! The coaches make it fun, and do a great job. I highly recommend this type of learning for Children of any age. Instead of my children just playing video games, they CREATE their own games here at the coding school :) read more

The Coder School is absolutely fantastic in every way. My 15 year old learned SOOOO much, and he was already at a pretty advanced level. The instructors are excellent, and communicate with parents through a weekly summary email. Owners Marcel and Renata have a flexible business model that allows make-ups, etc, and they are very responsive and kind. I highly recommend this business. read more

Marcel and Renata are friendly, warm owners who keep tabs on every student's progress. The Coder School instructors email specific feedback and updates after every session. Instruction is dynamic and turned into games for the students. The Coder School is appropriate for all age levels-young children, high schoolers, and adults wanting to make sense of today's coding environment. No need to look anywhere else-The Coder School is the absolute best you can find. read more

Awesome kids camp! My 12 year is still talking about it! I was honestly hesitant to enroll my 12 year old in the week long coding camp as he's not interested in anything "school" related this summer and it was priced more than other camps I was considering. So I was thrilled when he LOVED it! I was soooo happy to see how excited he was to talk about his programs and what he created every day! They made coding fun and let him run with his creative energy. He was so proud to show us his programs and is still talking about how much he loved it.... so much so that I want to see what kind of ongoing after school programs they offer. This is my kid that loves nothing but video games. Now he's creating them! read more

My daughter has been taking coding classes at The Coder School weekly for more than 3 years since 6th grade. The principal and coaches are very patient and professional.

Pleasantly surprised by this school. My son started here when it opened and he always loves going. The owner is very friendly and They coaches are excellent, and we feel like he is learning a lot. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Marcel, Renata, and the teaching staff are fantastic at the Coder School...our kids love the sessions there for weekend semi-private sessions and the weeklong summer camps!

Our 2 kids love it there at Coder school. We can tell that they are improving every week. Computers are the future, and we are glad that we gave them a headstart in this field. Great coaches, they are very nice and professional. Nice, clean class also. Marcel is also very flexible with our schedule. Two thumbs up. read more

My kids 2nd and 3rd grader did attend Summer camp for 1 week. I was skeptical at first learning about coding, since they did not know nothing about the subject. After they attend the first day, they said it was so much fun and they were excited to go back the next day. At the last day of camp, the parents could go in and the kids gave presentation what they have done throughout the week. My kids were proud to show what they have programmed and it seems like they learned a lot! The teachers gave attention to each one of them and I would definitely join them again. 5 thumbs up! read more

Professional and clear instruction to children on computer programming. My child has been attending coding class here for the past month, the instructions are just right for him. Also the staff is very inspiring in terms of teaching a young child. Keep up the great work!! read more

Sending my son to The Coder School was one of the most satisfying decisions I've made for his summer school programs. My son had taken a summer program called 'Games are awesome' of The Coder School. Even though he went with non-technical background, he had achieved a visible output from the class at the end. I especially liked a final presentation that all the parents were invited to come and see what their kiddos had learned from the course. The staff was very supportive and kind, and the teacher was professional with great background experiences. I strongly recommend The Coder School programs to your kids! read more
