The Coder School brings coding to life for kids through a dynamic and engaging after-school program. Launched in 2014 by Hansel Lynn and Wayne Teng in the heart of Silicon Valley, this innovative concept quickly responded to the rising interest in computer science and began offering franchise opportunities just a year later.
With its headquarters rooted in Silicon Valley, The Coder School is known for its distinctive mentor-based model. Students are paired with seasoned coding professionals who provide tailored instruction. From Code Coaching® to collaborative group classes and immersive summer camps, the school offers programs for all experience levels.
Rather than relying on a rigid classroom format, The Coder School adopts a flexible, project-focused methodology. This approach allows students to explore their interests while progressing at their own pace.
With a mix of one-on-one and small-group coaching, young learners not only master technical skills but also build confidence and creativity through meaningful projects.

However, the protection is not absolute. The franchisor retains the right to market and sell goods or services under the brand name across any region, including within existing territories, through various channels such as internet sales or promotional materials.
