21+ Years Experience

We've been offering programming courses since 1999 throughout Canada. There's nobody in the industry that boasts a track record as long and successful as ours. Read the testimonial below to see the kind of impact we've had on our students.

Senior Software Design at Bing.com

I was a student of RP4K in the 90s. I'm 30 years old now with a life based around programming. I continued to build video games independently for years after RP4K and even successfully sold a few.

Most recently, I left my role in a Senior Engineering position at Microsoft's Bing.com to pursue various startups including a video game startup. I’ve been thinking about RP4K lately and how much it changed my life. I’m mostly just feeling some nostalgia and a lot of gratitude and wanting to thank you guys for the opportunities you provided me.

Real Instructors

Each RP4K instructor is a post-secondary student, specializing in Computer Science or Computer Engineering. Our instructors are able to give students the inside track on expectations as a programmer in high school and beyond.

Real Math

Without math, video games wouldn’t exist. Each course is like a hidden math lesson. All of our courses apply math from simple counting of integers right up to 3D vectors and trigonometry. Who knew math could be this fun?

Real Fun

Teachers often say it's tough to compete with video games. So we don't. We use them to a student's advantage. But let's face it, when you're a kid you just want to have a good time! Our classes are informal and relaxed, but most of all, FUN!

Thank you again for five years of great Game Programming courses, amazing students and cool instructors. These last five years have been outstanding Computer Programming learning experiences for my son Brendan.

I highly recommend Real Programming 4 Kids to other parents, who want to channel their child or teen’s current interest in Video Games into a marketable skill in today’s world of high tech and a large Video Game industry.

I can't say enough good things about the RP4K coding and math school! My son has been taking different courses since 2021, and it's been an incredible experiencen for him. He's gone through all the levels—from beginner to intermediate to advanced/elite—and has learned different coding languages along the way. Through the process of learning and comparing different coding languages, he was able to figure out the specific area he's most passionate about. The instructors are always top-notch at any course level, super professional, and make every class engaging and fun.
Absolutely all the courses are really well-planned and way ahead of what he's learning in school. My son's favorite as of 2025 is the Advanced Applied Math course, with a very bright and talented instructor Craig. My son loves diving into new math concepts combined with physics and programming. This course is about learning, thinking, discovering and exploring, which has really sparked his interest in math even more. This school has given my son so much confidence and a deep love for coding and math that goes beyond the classroom. Highly recommend it to any parent looking to give their child an awesome educational experience—especially in AI, coding, and math, which are becoming increasingly essential with the rise of AI technology!
My 12-year old child showed an interest in coding a few years ago and so we started looking for coding programs for them. They participated in courses at many other organizations including several after-school in-person coding programs, summer coding camps and in-school extra-curricular coding clubs and this is the best one by far - in terms of teaching actual coding theory and developing an understanding of the variables at play and the mechanics of coding.
At other programs, my child would tell me things like "I do the tasks, but don't feel like I really understand why I was doing those things" or "we basically just play games" or "the instructors couldn't really explain things, they could just tell me what the next step was." This was NOT their experience at Real Programming 4 Kids. The instructors are great, really understand the content and my child expressed how they really learned things - both how to create code as well as WHY code is written a certain way.
Highly recommend.
My son has been taking classes with RP4K for a while now and really enjoys the lessons. I'm impressed with his knowledge. It's interesting to hear how the instructors teach the kids such complex topics.
After attending RP4K for six years across two math & physics classes and several coding courses, I can confidently attest to the quality of education here. Complex material is introduced in fun, manageable ways with extremely small class sizes. Though math is incorporated in all programming courses, RP4K also provides further programs focused entirely on math and physics. Programming has been one of my greatest interests for several years, and math not so much, which is why I was surprised to find out that the course I am currently taking, "Elite Math and Physics for Game Programmers", is even more enjoyable for me than previous courses. RP4K approaches teaching these seemingly intimidating concepts through a unique lens, helping to convey their importance and spark an interest in mathematics.
Over the past few years I've taken ten courses here. From not knowing a single thing about programming to now being able to help my friends in my school classes. I've had a really fun time here learning many, many new things that I don't think I would have ever been able to learn on my own. The small class sizes along with the simplicity of them is an amazing way to learn. Over the years, my favourite part of these classes were the teachers, taking into consideration the small class sizes, the teachers are quick to help and also explain everything very simply. This is a great place for beginner, and experienced programmers. - Austin

Real Programming

We're thrilled to see so many fun video game design camps being offered these days. However, most camps use drag-and-drop game making software, requiring minimal programming knowledge. We only teach REAL programming - just like the pros!
