What do you do differently or uniquely well?
"Max class size of just 4 kids!
RP4K delves into the world of coding with real-world programming languages, setting us apart from the basic "software safari" Scratch classes. Our curriculum includes proven and widely-used technologies such as Python, Java, C#, C++, and the Unity Game Engine. For our more advanced students, we offer Open courses, Math & AI courses, providing the freedom to shape their own learning experience and projects according to their expertise.
Our commitment to quality education is reflected in our choice of instructors – real professionals, some of whom are active programmers and game developers, including an Unreal Software Developer who worked in the electric motor vehicle manufacturing industry.
"
Who are your staff and counsellors?
"Our instructors range from professional programmers to university students specializing in Computer Science or Game Development. We prioritize real-world experience in our teaching staff. For example, one instructor is involved with an indie studio, contributing to the creation of engaging games, and another instructor is an expert in Unreal Engine (the tech that drives games such as Fortnite, Street Fighter 5, Gears of War). Their participation not only enhances the educational experience but also provides students with valuable insights into the professional realm of game development.
"
What do families need to know about registration?
"To enroll, start with a FREE, NO-OBLIGATION trial class. This trial serves two key purposes: it offers students a chance to experience our courses without any cost, ensuring they're eager to learn coding with us, and it enables us to evaluate the student's level and interests to recommend the most suitable course and programming language for them. To book your FREE trial or to find out more about our weekly classes, or summer camps, please contact us at 416-469-9676 or toll-free at 1-877-307-3456. Parents may also reach out via email at [email protected]."

Unlike the usual software safari classes, Real Programming 4 Kids (RP4K) offers online coding classes that go deeper with real programming languages. Each child is paired up with their own real instructor with a max of four kids per instructor, many of which are professional programmers or game developers. With programming so important right now and many jobs involving coding, this is a skill that can really take kids places. But, kids need not be intimidated by these types of classes, as instructors make learning fun and easy. What kid wouldn’t want to create their own video game or train the next generation of AI? Kids can be creative, while fueling their brains using creative problem solving. Collaborating with other kids prepares them for careers or hobbies in STEM-related fields. Parents don’t have to worry if a class is too difficult, or on the flip side, too easy for their child, as there are classes for every level of student. Once a child gets really great at what they do, they can move into elite classes and even open courses, where the kid is in control of what the course looks like. Around for over 20 years, RP4K definitely has the experience, plus the dedication to ensuring kids are well-prepared for a future with coding.

B.Sc. (Honours Math) M.Sc. (Math)
Since 2000, we have taught 14,000 Ontario kids and teens. I have been with RP4K since it's humble origins in Winnipeg in 1998. Prior to RP4K I had a Math tutoring business. And as a teen I performed magic for children's birthday parties. So all my enterprises have involved children.
We are now registering kids for online school season courses. As always we never put more than 4 students per instructor! We teach, C++, C#, Java, Unity, Python, AI and Math. The courses we offer are not only entertaining, but enhance logic and math skills. Our top instructors are always paying attention to individual students’ needs and make sure your child’s experience will be beyond your expectations.
Recently we have introduced a new “Applied Math & Physics for Coders" courses in addition to AI courses.
The purpose of the Math for Coders courses is to get kids to Apply Math and Physics concepts to video game programming. Our AI students will be applying AI to Settlers of Catan!
We look forward to hearing from you soon to discuss our weekly classes or summer camps.
