All three of my kids have been attending Coder School for the last several years. The skills they've learned in programming have been invaluable. My daughter won a Congressional award for one of her projects! read more

My 10 year old son has been taking tutorials at Coder School since he was 7 years old. We started with block coding and Scratch, building games that introduced logic and conditions. Last year, we started Python and have been expanding on the game building. We are so happy with the tutorials that we've been taking other classes they offer like the typing and camps (3D printing), I even took a intro to AI/ChatGPT class. The coaches are all very knowledgeable and very good at breaking down abstract concepts so a child can understand. read more

My son attended The Coder School for nearly three years from the end of 6th grade to the beginning of 9th grade. When he started, he had a general concept of coding, but through the school, he was able to learn scratch.io, python, and later, gamemaker. He had a consistent instructor who helped a lot to learn the basics for creating games in scratch and python. He also made a good friend who he hangs out with outside of class. During his time at the school, he was always into coding and working at home on the projects from the school. The games he has come up with are amazing. Some are simple and as he got older the games got more complex from Mario style runners to candy dropping to dungeon style games. I think the school is a great place that stimulated him in his love of coding, which carried on to today in high school. The staff has always been kind and welcoming and accommodating to our schedule. I highly recommend The Coder School particularly for younger kids who want to solidify the basics and eventually develop their own skills. Thank you everyone! read more

My son was has had a wonderful experience over the 3+ years he has been attending classes. They gave him the creative freedom to come up with games and projects he wanted to work on while providing the guidance to keep him on track. read more

This organization has called us dozens of times over the past few months trying to get us to sign up for their class. Finally, after 30+ calls, we agreed to go but only if they would comp the class and call it a free audit. The class was set up in a corner long desk with a ton of computers in a row on two sides. We had taken one-on-one classes before, but this class felt like a total money grab. It wasn't educational and it wasn't fun at all! We don't want to go back, but they keep calling us and texting us and emailing us. Worst of all, they are trying to charge us for the single class they told us would be free! Very disappointing. Big thumbs down. read more

What a wonderful resource. Coders will one day rule the earth it seems, and knowing what it's all about is a potentially valuable skill for the new generation. My kid has been doing it for years online, started during the pandemic. The School makes it fun for the kids and logistically easy for the parents. Greatly appreciate their scheduling flexibility. Natasha is amazing. So helpful and understanding! Nicole who heads the school is simply a lovely person. Really can't recommend the School enough! read more

We did a trial here about a month ago. We were allowed to wait in the waiting area they have while our son went in the back for his instruction. It's only a few feet away so we were present the whole time. As he had his lesson, we made conversation with the intake guy (I don't remember his name) but he was super friendly, so was the instructor, Natasha. Our son already knew how to do a lot of things he was taught but it was nice for him to actually know the terms and it was more streamlined for him to understand. I really recommend this place and hopefully, we can go back very soon! read more

My son really enjoyed his python class and during their class presentation, it seemed like he had learned a lot of python from the teachers. I'm really glad my son could learn python from this school. read more

I have taken classes at the Coder School Pasadena for already about one and half years. The coaches were really nice, and they are really patient with my questions. I learned a lot of coding from the Coder school, it definitely worth a five star. read more

The Coder School is my daughter's favorite extracurricular activity outside of school. Coach Faith and Coach Jasmine are patient, encouraging, and my daughter loves working with both of them. Natasha is also wonderful, always accommodating, goes above and beyond, and even keeps my younger daughter and me entertained while we wait during class time. This is our second coding school experience and we have felt a world of a difference with The Coder School. read more

Coder School Pasadena with Cindy online has been a WONDERFUL experience and has benefited our child greatly in problem solving and critical thinking skills. Cindy has been a terrific coach, and we've enjoyed listening to them working through problems together and using logic skills in coding areas that we are unable to help with. The math skills, computer literacy and internet safety, attention to detail and problem solving that are required during coaching will serve him well in so many areas beyond coding in the years to come. read more

My child really enjoys going to his coding class every Sat. He loves his coach - Faith. She is so patient with him and he loves to see her every week. Thank you Coach Faith for all you do. read more

Having moved to Los Angeles from San Jose where my son was taking classes and able to be consistently involved in coding anywhere, I have to say I am so blessed that I found The Coder School here and also its great we were able to do it online!!! My son LOVES Coach Deborah and is always asking if he can have more time with her! He is always excited during class and after! Looking to add another class to his schedule Thank you so much for opening your school in Los Angeles, glad I found you!! read more

The Coder School Pasadena - Always focused in class with Coach Deborah, he loves his class! - Summer Camps Near Me - Pasadena, California

My son loves coming to the Coder School each week. The coaches are knowledgeable and attentive to his particular interests. We are always greeted with warm and friendly smiles. A great experience so far! read more

It was great to see our son and his friends becoming progressively engaged and intrigued by the lesson the Coach teaches as a group. Although these boys in their puberty stage can be quite difficult to manage, the Coach made it fun, challenging, and collaborative to win them over. Now, they are in a team project for a competition held in the end of the year. Now, my daughter, along with her friends, have joined in as well as a separate group class and they're having a blast! read more

My son really looks forward to the coding sessions. The teacher is open to ideas and listens to the students as well.

My son has taken semi-private lessons with Alex at The Coder School Pasadena for over 3 years. It's his all-time favorite activity and has propelled his interest in coding and gaming. Thanks to his weekly sessions, my son earned an A+ in computer science in the 6th grade and A in robotics in 7th grade. The school is very accommodating if we need to change a class and they are extremely supportive of our son's growth and goals for the future. We recommend the Coder School with the highest regard. read more

The Coder School is the best kept secret in Pasadena! The Coder School brings new technology and innovation to the children in our community. We attended the Grand Opening back in February and was completely impressed and booked them on the spot. They provide a wide range of programs that cater to a child's individual needs. Since this new crisis they have been able to shift into an online version to continue running their programs. My 11 year old son looks forward to his weekly lessons and is quickly broadening his creativity. The coaches are gentle and caring of the learning of each child. They provide a summary of what was covered after each class, this keeps us parents in the loop of our child's progress! read more

My 13yo son has loved getting to work with his 2:1 teacher on projects that have always been in his mind but he never knew how to express them on the computer. He is learning to create a basic video games and incorporate his own music, drawings and photos into the fun. read more

This school was great. I sent my son to two of their 1week coding classes this summer. He had a great time and learned a lot.

Brandon like to take a coding class with his teacher. That is what he wants to continue the coding class. I always ask Brandon after coding class, what did he learn about it. He was so exciting to example to me what he learned on class. I am so happy to hear what Brandon said it. I can see he was so happy to learn the coding. read more

We are so happy with our class and our Coach! Our daughter looks forward to her class each week and has learned so much! She's learning something new each week and really making progress with her knowledge of the different codes. The Coder School Pasadena really was a great choice for her! Staff and coaches are awesome! Facility is super clean and high tech! Love it! read more

My daughter started coding as an activity during quarantine, but likes it so much that she continued and even registered for a coding class in high school. The coaches are great at guiding them without giving the solution. The projects have become more complex and requires much more analysis, but it is engaging enough that she doesn't give up! read more

Our daughter really enjoys it. Good combination of games, physical exercise, and computer training. The online format works well.

I can't speak highly enough about The Coder School. My 10-year-old niece was indicating some interest and aptitude in computer technology. Being technology Luddites, her parents and I were totally clueless on what to do to support her. That's when I found The Coder School. She just loves it! Every week, she looks forward to her class (now remote) with her coach. The classes are tailored just for her and coach Cindy is super encouraging. She's learning computer programming in a fun and supportive environment, but she is also learning other important life skills that will serve her well in the future. The school is super responsive to our needs - we were once late to class and they contacted us and then tacked time on at the end. Thank you Coder School Pasadena! read more

The Coder School has been such a wonderful part of my son's life. He had no real experience with coding, and then during quarantine when I was looking for something for him to do, he took a trial class online with Coach Alex. When it was over he said "Mom, I can't believe that was an hour, it felt like 15 minutes~it was SO FUN!" Since then he has been in a small group class for over a year and he loves it. It makes me happy that if he's going to be on the computer, he is at least learning a valuable skill and having a great time doing it. Nicole is a very helpful, warm and friendly business owner and she has hired fantastic coaches. Highly recommend! read more

My daughter has been working with Coach Alex at the Coder School for the past 2 years learning Scratch. He is kindest, most patient teacher and she has learned so much from him. We have tried other coding schools but The Coder School is hands down the best. read more

My son has been taking coding lessons with his two friends for almost a year now and he has learned so much! Right now he is coding a story and it's both challenging and fun! It's really been a great experience:) read more

Our daughter has been coaching one on one with Coach Charlie for a few months with a goal of one day building out her own game in Roblox. She's started in scratch and together they have created an amazing game. She is excited every Saturday morning and we love hearing her laugh and come up with great ideas. Coach Charlie provides detailed feedback after each session which we are able to share with her and cheer her on! They delve into concepts that reinforce what she's learning in class but in a fun way. We have no doubt she'll be able to achieve her roblox goal while learning valuable skills along the way. It's education disguised as fun and we love it! Thanks Charlie and The Coder School! read more

My daughter has been taking classes past 4-5 months and hasn't missed any class once she got started. She is looking forward to learning to code something new. She casually throws in terms like variable and boolean :) that makes me smile. I am glad she is learning this really important skill-set of coding at the coder school from friendly and competent teachers. And the best thing indeed is that we can do it all online :) read more

My 11th grader has loved working with his Coder School coach. The staff and coach have been so professional, patient, accommodating, resourceful and, more than anything, inspirational. My son has always been interested in technology, but, thanks to these classes, he has been so motivated. He is interested in pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering, and the training with The Coder School is helping him build a strong foundation towards this pursuit. Thank you! read more

Our son had an amazing experience doing one of the Coder School Pasadena's remote game design summer camps this year. He was able to do it from home and we were very impressed with the level of engagement the teachers had with the kids. Everyone was having such a good time! Our son kept working on his games even when camp was over for the day. We overheard him say to his little brother, "I think this coding camp is the best thing that's ever happened to me." LOL soo cute! After camp, his main teachers sent really detailed feedback about our son's progress during camp. This feedback from his teacher almost took our breath away. They clearly got to know our child quite well in a week, which means they took a real interest in him. That's awesome! Highly recommend this organization for camps and classes. We will be attending again soon. It's also a wonderful activity for these pandemic times. Nicole and the rest of the staff are also a real pleasure to communicate with, and go above and beyond to make things easy and positive for the parents, too. read more
