iCode School - Austin Campus

★Harlow Kinsley

I’d caution parents before choosing this place. Many of the instructors are high schoolers, paid around $16 an hour, with only mediocre coding skills. The courses are super expensive—thousands of dollars for summer programs—and honestly, the content isn’t worth it. The management seemed more like a sales operation, pushing these overpriced courses rather than focusing on actual learning. I’d suggest finding a place where kids get real value for what you’re paying.

I don't know about other locations but this location hired a bunch of highschoolers who only knows the basic of HTML and tried to have them teach advanced levels of coding and AI Edit my post due to the owner's comment: 'iCode Austin does not employ any high school students as instructors' => Don't have trust me. You can look up on LinkedIn yourself and see a lot of highschoolers having iCode Austin lead instructors role a year or two before they enroll in college 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

We had horrible experience here. If there were negative ratings, I would give that! Horrible management!! The teachers, the staff on the front desk don't seem to care at all! Our son Jason ( 6 year old) registered a five day summer camp on 2D Web development. He was in a classroom on Monday, but somehow switched to another room and stayed there until Friday. It turns out our son was in the wrong classroom for four days! The teacher in the first classroom has no idea our kid was missing from his class for four days and even shown us his certificate on the last day! And the teacher in the second classroom just told our son he was not supposed to be in his classroom , and let him sit playing game himself. When we talk to the teachers and the staff today, they just don't care at all. It is what it is. Such a shame! Our son also registered another course here in next next week, which hasn't started yet. We are considering cancelling it! It is my first time to post a bad review. I really don’t feel safe to leave a young kid here, especially after what we have just experienced .

My kids have been coming here for summer camps at South Austin for 2 years and now going through the Belt program. They love it. The staff are really nice and helpful and give the kids lots of hands on help and attention. Mr Valentine helped my oldest pic out the components for his game computer build and does so much for the kids. I also love how flexible they have been about letting my youngest choose what he wants to focus on to learn... options like 3D design and 3D printing; game development... and my oldest is learning web site design now at 11/12. This place is the best.

We just started here but I cannot say enough good things about this place! The school itself has multiple rooms, up to date equipment, and a computer room parents can work in while kids are in class. The staff from front desk to teachers, are friendly and competent. I didn’t have the first clue of what class to enroll my 8 year old in, they helped navigate what was best for him and were very flexible if/when we needed to change classes. My kiddo LOVES it there, I was blown away after just the first class, of how much he learned and what he could do. Highly recommend for anyone interested in coding, or just being more computer literate.
