About us

A small school, on purpose

We started in 2009 with one evening class of eleven people. We have grown, but we have kept the thing that made it work: courses small enough that teaching is a conversation.

  • Sixteen students to a cohort, never more
  • Tutors are practitioners first, teachers second
  • Every syllabus is public before you pay
  • Fees are flat — no deposit, no admin charge

Courses

Open for enrolment

Taught over six to twelve weeks, with one live session a week.

Student stories

What finishing it was worth

The cohort was the thing I did not expect. Four of us still review each other’s work every month, two years after the course finished.

Rosa Lindqvist

Product designer, Helsinki

I came in able to write a little JavaScript and left able to ship. The assessment was harder than the interview I passed a month later.

Michael Chen

Front-end developer, Toronto

Sixteen people means you cannot hide, which is exactly why it worked. My tutor knew which bit I was stuck on before I said so.

Amara Diallo

Data analyst, Dakar
