South Bay Children Can Learn To Code At New School

REDONDO BEACH, CA — Children in the South Bay will have access to two-to-one mentoring to learn coding with a new theCoderSchool location in Redondo Beach.

Courses are open to children aged 6 to 18 and will help students get familiar coding software such as Scratch, Python, HTML, CSS, Java, C++, Unity and more.

“This is a great opportunity for the community to meet our team, see the new space and learn all about the importance of technology today,” said Dipali Patel, the owner of theCoderSchool in Redondo Beach/Torrance. “Parents can see what theCoderSchool has to offer and get insights on which plans are best suited for their child.”

The Redondo Beach location is slated to open on Saturday, Nov. 19. To celebrate the opening of the new location, a grand opening event will allow visitors who register to take classes a chance to win a brand-new laptop and discounted services.

The school is a Silicon Valley-based children's afterschool program and has more than 50 schools operating in more than 15 states.

Patel said she was drawn to the company because theCoderSchool's philosophy resonated with her. Their shared goal was to provide individualized coding education to children in smaller group settings.

“I was consistently hearing from people in the tech industry that they wished there had been a coding school in this area when they were growing up,” Patel said. “Then, my sons also became interested in technology and were constantly reminding me of the value and importance of tech in our world. Between the feedback I received from the community and my own children, I was led to open theCoderSchool in Cerritos/La Palma.”

The school is located at 1884 1/2 S. Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach.
