RP4K’s 10 year history at Kingsway College School, Etobicoke
“RP4K has been a valued Learning Partner at KCS for over 10 years. Instructors from RP4K bring computer programming expertise, sound teaching and pedagogy, individualized attention, flexibility in delivery, and a proven formula of 4:1 instruction plus the lure of video game creation. The learning challenge is significant, yet they bring out the potential coder in every student. For many years, RP4K instructors have delivered a coding elective to interested grade 6 to 8 students at KCS. They have also provided evening, weekend, and holiday camps that were not only embraced by our students but also brought others to our community. Most recently, RP4K partnered with our new Senior School, supporting two students pursuing independent web and videogame creation projects as part of our distinct KCS Path Program, customizing instruction to fit the students’ creative intentions.
Elliott Bay’s commitment to unlocking the world of coding for children and youth is unparalleled. He and his team will continue to be our ‘go-to’ as we deliver on the same commitment.”

GTA parent speaks about the advanced math her son has learned from RP4K
“Hello Elliott,
I want to thank you very much for the Math and Physics course you recently provided for my son. He loved the class very much, and really enjoyed learning from you. He also loved the magic you did with some of the lessons, and he excitedly showed us the tricks after the classes. I also want to thank you for the very specific and detailed feedback you provided on his report card for the class. We were quite stunned to find out how well he was able to grasp the concepts and work through the math and physics problems that are several years ahead of where he currently is, grade-wise, in school.
We have been so impressed with what our son has learned over the years at RP4K, the detailed and robust yet very fun curriculum and teachers, and that he has developed some amazing coding skills!"

New coding classes for kids start all the time, so give us a call or email to find a class that works with your schedule.
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
