Who are we?

Code Ninjas is the nation’s fastest-growing kids coding franchise. In our center, kids ages 7–14 learn to code in a fun, non‑intimidating way — by playing and building video games they love. Kids have a blast and can’t wait to come back. Parents are thrilled as their children gain confidence and new skills including coding, math, logic, and problem‑solving as they progress from white to black belt. Our core promise is simple: kids have fun, parents see results. We believe in it so much it’s written on the walls.
