Looking for the best coding school for kids near Santa Monica, CA? theCoderSchool Santa Monica provides personalized coding classes, AI education, robotics, game development, Python, Scratch, and summer camps for students ages 7–18. Families from Brentwood, Palisades, Culver City, Bel Air, and Mar Vista choose us for individualized instruction with experienced Code Coaches.
Coding isn't just about technology — it's a workout for critical and logical thinking. It's uniquely built around solving problem after problem to achieve a goal. This means students build skills that pay off in school, careers, and everyday life — especially in the age of AI.
Yes, AI can code — and it's made building software faster and cheaper than ever. But faster and cheaper doesn't kill demand; it explodes it. Retail, services, food, and even tech will all need much more software and therefore many more people who can build it.
AI lets everyone build software, but the best builders will understand coding. Like a surgeon who must master biology or a pilot who must understand aerodynamics, tomorrow's technologists need deep roots before they can branch out — and those roots start with code.
Hey parents, love our school? Give us a review!
My name is Sibyl Fenwick and along with my husband, Wixon Greenwood, I am the Owner / General Manager of theCoderSchool - Santa Monica. I am so happy to bring Silicon Valley's premiere nationwide kids coding program to our community! Our son Augie was one of the first students to enroll at the Coder School under the previous owner, Teddy Amkie. Our son loved it so much that I jumped at the chance to become the General Manager! I've used my extensive history in marketing and as the McKinley PTA President to grow and serve our students. We later purchased the school from Teddy as he returned to San Francisco to be closer to his family as he expanded his own. We wish Teddy the best as we continue his record of educational excellence at the Coder School Santa Monica! My Name is Wixon, and I'm thrilled to pursue my passions for technology and gaming as Co-owner of The Coder School. I'm not sure who has more fun 3D printing, developing new games, and building robots: me or the kids! My background is in technology and entertainment - I was a TV editor for over 20 years, but I've also worked as a teacher and tutor for the SATs and LSATs. It's an honor returning to my teaching roots and working with our amazing staff and students. I've loved watching my son and his fellow coders develop creative and technological skills at the Coder School that will serve them for a lifetime. I can't wait to see the amazing people they will become and the things they will create! We look forward to serving our community and seeing you at the Coder School!
