I take my eight-year-old son, who has ADHD and is on the spectrum, to Co Ninja Northridge, and it has been an incredible experience for him. He's learned how to type and even do some low-level coding, which is amazing progress--but he's learned so much more than just tech skills. The entire team is incredibly kind, and the owners truly care about the kids. Kevin, one of the sensei at Co Ninja Northridge, is especially fantastic--patient, supportive, and great at connecting with my son. My son has been attending for about eight months now, and I've seen so much growth in his confidence, focus, and abilities. I'm genuinely grateful that I registered him. Thank you, Co Ninja Northridge! read more

We love Code Ninja! My son loves attending his coding classes, he looks forward to working on his projects. All the staff is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. I love the owners, Vishal and his wife are amazing with all the kids. I love how hands on they are and patient. These coding classes are a fun way to teach children about computers and many other skills that can be applied for a future career. read more

We enrolled our son a few months ago, and he's already advanced to yellow belt. He's learning real programming concepts (variables, loops, sprite behavior) all through Microsoft Makecode. This isn't just drag-and-drop play; it's structured logic and hands-on problem-solving. Vishal and Ashima are owners of the dojo. They've encouraged our son to speak about his projects and share his thought process. He's developing both his technical and communication skills in tandem. He's not zoning out or getting lost. He's debugging, refining game logic, and even thinking critically about player experience and level design. Just solid learning, creative growth, and a supportive community. Only draw back, staff on weekends are not attentive compared to weekdays. read more

My son and I went tonight for a Parent and Me Coding Event and it was great. Even though we had to leave early, we managed to build an entire asteroid-like game in an hour! Sensei Justin was so easy to work with guiding us on each step. My 7.5-year-old loved it (and he was a doubter before this)! Thank you for offering opportunities to do something together. read more

Code Ninjas - Zack coding his game - Specialty Schools Near Me - Northridge, California

My son has been attending for over a year and absolutely loves it. He looks forward to every session with the same enthusiasm he had when he first started. The program is excellent overall and thoughtfully designed to accommodate each child based on their individual needs. The team is outstanding--from management to employees. They are extremely supportive, consistently assertive in the best way, and genuinely committed to helping each child grow to their fullest potential. I also appreciate the additional events they offer, such as Parent Night Out, game nights, and other unique experiences, including bringing in professionals who inspire the children while providing insight into various workplaces and industries. Their partnerships with other businesses are another wonderful benefit. These collaborations are clearly designed with parents in mind and truly help make our lives easier. I highly recommend it to anyone! read more

My six year old loves his time at Code Ninjas and never wants to leave. He could spend all his time there. We love the camps and membership! Ashima and Vishal are wonderful to work with a provide a nurturing and kind atmosphere for the kids. read more

We just had our son's 8th bday party at code ninja and it went smoothly and the staff were very hospitable to our guests and made the even seamless. We were able to bring in catered menu to have adults and kids enjoy variety choices that we had ordered, the decorations and table set up was done perfectly. The decors, banners and balloons were provided by us. But the staff helped set up. The party games was very fun and competitive among the kids and adults. What made this night even more memorable is that we had the whole place to ourselves which made it intimate and enjoyable to our family and friends, thank you Vishal, Ashima and staff!! Highly recommended!! read more

Code Ninjas is our home away from home. My son absolutely loves this place. The Instructors/Sensais are highly skilled and they will guide your child's way. Vishal and Ashima are very caring and nurturing. My son most likely will truly invent something one day... he has that true passion for inventing and creating and his curiosity is endless. Code Ninjas will be foundational during these important stages of his development. This place will foster the curiosity of your child through coding and program development. My son has tried almost all of the camps here and we have had great experiences and he is always excited and proud of what he is working on. The Create Jr. Program is exciting for our son and we are hoping to see him through to the level of black belt one day. There are numerous camps to choose from... We love code ninjas. read more

My kid has a great time here really nice place they learn a lot cool things and staff is awesome

We loved the staff at code ninjas. Unfortunately we discovered that after many months of very slow progress that the staff was allowing our son to play computer games during class time. We were unaware this was happening. Most of the time he spent time there was completely wasted because the staff was too lazy to address this issue even after we brought up our concerns about his lack of progress. If you have a child that is self motivated, focused and can work independently then send them here. Otherwise, don't waste your money. The supervision is poor, especially on weekends. read more

Truly a gem of the San Fernando Valley. The owners of this establishment exude a true passion for their work and it shows in the finished product. The staff seem excited to be there and are extremely attentive to the children's needs. They also do a great job of recognizing when a kiddo needs a little break from coding (they have a wealth of STEM toys for them to play with and clear their minds for a bit). I brought my son here in the hopes that he would meet like-minded children and it's absolutely been working. From the moment we walked through the door Vishal and Ashima made us feel like home, speaking to us as though we'd known each other for years. Their warmth and passion about coding (and from speaking with them, this is truly a passion project for them) is reflected in the smiling faces of both children and parents. The senseis are enthusiastic to introduce children to the exciting and often frustrating world of software development with warmth, patience, and compassion. The facilities are also sparkling clean and welcoming. This place truly feels like an oasis in the insanity of LA. I highly recommend it for anyone who has children even remotely interested in coding or computer science. read more

The staff is super friendly and engaging, they are helpful when questions are asked. The method of teaching is based on ranks which is good because it slowly levels up your child in the skill of coding. I would recommend code ninja's 110%!!! read more

My son attends the coding class for 2 years and he loves it so much. We are very happy with his progress and love the place, the staff, and the owner.

Thank you :) read more

We had our son's 7th birthday at Code Ninjas this past weekend and it was a huge hit! Vishal and Ashima took great care in hosting the event and went above and beyond our expectations. We had never been so they invited both of our kids for a free trial and to come see the space. The kids loved it and we quickly booked. Vishal and Ashima were great at communicating during the planning stage and the whole staff was such a great help on the day of. They helped decorate, were attentive to the kids, served food/cake, and cleanup! The kids got to play some Minecraft, learn some things, do trivia games, and a hands on robotics type activity all in theme. The parents even got to play some games while the kids ate making it fun for everyone. It truly was a great party and something different than the usual play spaces we go to. I highly recommend and we will be signing up for some of their classes soon. read more

As the parent of a neurodiverse child, I came into Code Ninjas with a lot of questions about the program, how they teach, how the children interact, etc. From our first visit, Vashal and Ashima have made my family feel welcomed, accepted, and gone above and beyond to help my son get enrolled and settled in. Their care for every child is obvious in every interaction, and it's obvious they are passionate about their business and love what they do. What I like most is the flexibility built into the program. My son is a fast learner and doesn't do well with cookie-cutter classes where everyone has to work at the same pace. He's also extremely creative and wants opportunities to explore his ideas. Code Ninjas works with each child at their own level, pace, and interests. They recognize that you can learn coding and logic concepts a lot of different ways, and can adapt that to a child's interests. They also are finding unique ways to expose kids to new technology like AI and 3D printing. Parents aren't allowed into the "bullpen" where the kids work, but there is see-through glass where you can hang out and observe. It's not just kids sitting at computers - The kids are working but also talking, interacting, and allowed to move around. It's more like a workshop or lab than a formal class (although kids who want to focus and work alone are given space for that). read more

Code Ninjas Northridge is an incredible environment for young minds to explore, learn and create! I'm so impressed by the family and staff who create a welcoming and nurturing environment. They do a wonderful job of helping each child specific to that child's ability and interests. Ive been most impressed by their skill in managing my son during moody moments or when he feels frustrated during the learning process with encouragement and kindness. I love their camps, membership and drop in options knowing my son is well cared for and learning skills that will serve him in both play and academic pursuits. read more

We are very lucky to have Code Ninjas in our community. My child started last June 2023 and she enjoys going to coding class ever since. The instructors are all wonderful, kind and motivating. The facility is very inviting, clean and safe. They have also other wonderful programs aside from coding such as stem. Like many other kids these days, my daughter spends so much time on her ipad, and the main reason why I bring her to Code Ninjas is to make the time she spends on ipad more productive. Instead of playing computer games, she learns how to create them. It makes her develop critical thinking on how to create games. She gets to put her ideas and thoughts into the program, and at the same time still enjoys what she is doing. Come to the school and see for yourself! Your kids would enjoy! read more

Vishal and Ashima will make you feel so welcome & explain everything. I'm so happy we decided to join. read more

From my 11 year old - They encourage you to do better and help you succeed. They teach you coding with blocks and scripts, they also teach you 3D design and Lego robotics. They have many fun events for kids. He has also made some friends. As a parent I appreciate their dedication and support show towards the ninjas. The senseis are great and take requests seriously. They are young, but well-trained. The owners are very responsive and I feel very comfortable leaving my child there. They are dedicated to seeing the ninjas thrive.

I appreciate the socializing. I feel safe and confident that my son will have a good time. In addition every Friday night is parents night out! Pizza and gaming read more

My son is always excited when it's time to go to Code Ninjas, from the staff to the other students he always has a great time. He is learning a lot and am so happy to have found these wonderful people! read more

Coding is becoming a standard skill that all children need to know. It's not an extra, it's like the alphabet or arithmetic. Assume all the other kids either know it or are taking classes. And schools are not teaching this as part of the basic curriculum. They seem to be more interested in teaching kids about questioning their gender and CRT than equipping them for the future. Code Ninjas is an effective way to bring your children up to their peers' level and above. They program is well though out, organized and fun. Don't leave it up to the schools to help your children, be proactive. read more
