My Nonprofit Reviews

My son, Ian, has taken coding classes from the League of Amazing Programmers for more than three years; I highly recommend this organization. The League's administrative staff is helpful and friendly and its classroom teachers are excellent instructors who care about encouraging kids to learn code and bring their industry knowledge to the classroom. Students advance through a series of ranks with defined goals and benchmarks (including one which helped prepare my son to successfully take the AP Computer Science exam as a freshman) and in a way that they find interesting and fun. Projects range from designing and creating a video game to developing an app that will benefit society, and more. Each of my son's instructors has been smart, patient, helpful, knowledgable and encouraging and has shared their experiences in a way that helps students connect the dots between what they are doing in class to what they could do in the working world some day. My son has had two additional great experiences through the League: participating in its annual IAROC robotics competition and helping to teach coding to new students as a TA. As an organization, the League has a great mission that its founder Vic Wintriss clearly believes in: helping students from all backgrounds learn to code. The League runs classes in several San Diego locations including at the downtown library and MLK libraries. We found the League by word of mouth and are so glad we did.
