Not at your school, or want additional classes? We also offer weekend coding classes for kids in the Kentlands and in Silver Spring.

An additional option for getting your child involved in programming is our In-School field trips. Our experienced teachers visit your school, and bring our coding classes to you! Speak with your principal, PTA, or teachers if you are interested in having Panda Programmer visit your school for an In-School field trip.

After-School Class Structure

After-School Classes consist of 6 or fewer students per teacher. As a result, we are able to ensure that each student receives personalized one-on-one instruction regardless of skill level. Our experienced Instructors utilize our tried-and-true curriculum developed at Panda Programmer specifically for Scratch, Python, and JavaScript.

Our Curriculum is specifically designed to be customizable per student, as our classroom structure is tied to the individual instead of the group. In combination with a 6-to-1 Student-to-teacher ratio, we’re able to ensure no student is ever left behind.

If you wish to enroll mid-session, contact us now!
