Computer Programming Classes for Kids
Testimonials
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.
Hi Elliott, So my daughter, Rhys, just completed her free trial lesson today with Joshua. I was shocked that she didn’t hate it. (Which you should take as a huge compliment!) She had been dreading the lesson all week when I told her she was gonna try yet another trial lesson. I’ve been searching for […]
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!
Dear RP4K Team, Our son (age 10) became interested in coding/programming in the summer of 2020 – yes, during the COVID-19 pandemic! This allowed me to open up our search for online programs anywhere in the world, and we were thrilled to find RP4K in Canada, even though we were in New Jersey. It was […]
My son worked his way through seeing the consequences of a poor decision he was about to make using a series of if/then statements.
So happy to see this ad! My son is going into grade 5 and completed an in-person class prior to Covid-19. RP4K quickly, and seamlessly, pivoted to an online platform. My son is now completing his second course. The instructors are knowledgeable, and truly connect with each student. This is a true programming course and […]
RP4K worked with Effie K. to reschedule her son when her work schedule abruptly changed, and helped find the right instructor personality for her son.
RP4K testimonial provided by Effie K. in June 2020, regarding her son’s experience at our Toronto location.
If you’re interviewing for software development jobs, it’s worthwhile noting that the position piques people's interest when on a resume.
If there’s time at the end of an interview, an interviewer is likely to enquire about RP4K and the role itself. I experienced this on three occasions.
"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."
I’m mostly just feeling some nostalgia and a lot of gratitude and wanting to thank you guys for the opportunities you provided me.
"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."
I am so grateful I found the program because this is the best thing I have done for my son.

The courses are very well designed and the instructors have all been wonderful.
"A Testimonial From Dr. Margarita Vinnikov (One Of Our Instructors!)"
This hands-on style of teaching works well with different types of learners, it allows younger students to stay concentrated for a longer time, and it develops problem skills that can be used for other subjects and different life situations.
"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."
My sense is that 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.

"It is rare to find a gem like RP4K"
