In April 2024 Owen Rechstaffen, a Toronto student, wrote, “RP4K does a great job of creating a close atmosphere and environment in it's classes. The small class size of 2-4 kids ensures that the instructors get to know each kid individually, including their interests and weaknesses. Instructors are then able to focus the material on what the kids are interested in, preventing the material from seeming stale. This combined with the well-qualified staff makes it easy to learn the often complicated coding, game design, and math concepts. The focus on figuring stuff out yourself helps to prevent the common failure of coding camps and classes where kids just end up copying off a screen, and helps develop real problem-solving skills instead.

My favourite activity I have done at RP4K is probably program customisation. After finishing the main program or game, and learning the basic concepts, students are given the opportunity to put their skills to the test and implement additional ideas and functions. I found this really fun as well as challenging, as you had to work with the pre-existing code in order to not break anything or overcomplicate a concept. Although it could be overwhelming with so many options available, the instructors' guidance helps focus your ideas into reasonable components and effectively implement your vision.

RP4K's instructors and staff are all exceptional. The support staff makes it easy to inform your instructor if you are going to be late or miss a class, and instructors make it easy to review missed material in the event of an absence. All of the instructors are well qualified, with most either being in the middle of, or recent graduates of relevant university programs. They are all very kind and helpful people, with them trying to engage with students and focus material around student interests. My instructors have also done an excellent job of showing what the learned material can be used for by showing off more complicated programs and talking about potential uses of the programming skills being taught.”

My son has attended multiple courses with Real Programming over the years. He enjoyed every single one of them, and each time he finished a course, he would ask for another one. RP4K has inspired a deep interest in Coding/Computer Science for him.

Classes were small and engaging, teachers were knowledgeable and inspiring. He did Elite Math and Physics and Elliott made Math and Physics fun! I am so glad we found RP4K, it has built the necessary foundation for my son to navigate the continuously changing technological landscape. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Our older daughter was accepted into the Computer Science program at the University of Waterloo this year. She has been a student at RP4K since her early teens, progressing from the basic to the most advanced courses over the years. Thank you, teachers at RP4K for igniting her passion for programming at an early age!

The practical approach to learning and proprietary teaching methodology RP4K offers worked very well for our younger daughter as well. She also enjoys online programming lessons at RP4K and is following the path of her sister. While she still has 1.5 years of school left till university, she is already considering Computer Science or Math and teaches kids at the local Mathnasium.

We can recommend RP4K without any hesitation to anyone who is looking for a quality programming school for their kids. Both our daughters benefitted a lot from these courses over the years. We are very glad we found RP4K pretty early and enrolled both of our daughters every year. Thank you, RP4K!

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.
