My son Jordan has always had a deep understanding and interest in computer programming; and we couldn’t be happier that our friends introduced us to RP4K..
I was very pleased with today’s trial lesson. Rhys said she actually learned something whereas in other lessons they just told her what to do and covered way too many steps. I was also really encouraged after reading all the testimonials.
I truly believe RP4K helped set a new course for our son, and I am very grateful. We look forward to working with RP4K for years to come – well after the pandemic is behind us!
"I've been thinking about RP4K lately and how much it changed my life. I continued to build video games independently for years after RP4K and even successfully sold a few. I've always loved video games and programming and have been employed steadily in programming roles since I was 16."
"After taking all science camps and clubs available in Ottawa my son expressed an interest in computer programming. I started searching for classes but couldn’t find anything interesting until I came across RP4K. I am so grateful I found the program because this is the best thing I have done for my son."
"Our experience with RP4K has been a full 5 stars over 7 years - we recommend RP4K very highly. Its simply one of the best things we've done for our children."

"The program presented by RP4K is effective due to interesting projects (the games line up with what most kids like), small classes and excellent instructors."
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 video game 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!"
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.
