Transforming Lives Through Software Development Education

Since 2015, Code School Canada has been on a mission to make high-quality tech education accessible to everyone. What started as a small classroom in Toronto has grown into one of Canada's most trusted coding education institutions.

Our Mission

Democratizing Access to Tech Careers

We believe that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Our mission is to bridge that gap by providing world-class software development education to anyone with the drive to learn, regardless of their background.

When David Park founded Code School Canada in 2015, the tech industry was booming but education hadn't caught up. Traditional universities were teaching outdated curricula, and bootcamps were expensive and inaccessible. David envisioned a different approach: an education platform that combined rigorous, industry-relevant curriculum with flexible learning options and genuine support for career changers.

Nine years later, that vision has become reality. Our auto-graded learning platform, expert mentors, and comprehensive career services have helped over 2,800 graduates launch successful careers in tech. And we're just getting started.

Our Values

What We Stand For

These core principles guide everything we do at Code School Canada.

Accessibility

Quality tech education shouldn't be limited by geography, schedule, or financial circumstances. We offer flexible programs, payment plans, and scholarships to ensure everyone has a path forward.

Excellence

We refuse to compromise on quality. Our curriculum is updated quarterly based on industry feedback, and our instructors are experienced professionals who genuinely care about student success.

Community

Learning to code is challenging, and no one should do it alone. We foster a supportive community where students help each other, alumni give back, and everyone celebrates each other's wins.

Innovation

Technology evolves rapidly, and so do we. Our auto-graded learning platform provides instant feedback, and we continuously experiment with new teaching methods to improve outcomes.

Transparency

We publish our outcomes data, explain our pricing clearly, and are upfront about what it takes to succeed. We believe trust is earned through honesty, not marketing claims.

Accountability

Our job guarantee isn't just marketing - it's a commitment. We're so confident in our program that we're willing to put our money where our mouth is. Your success is our success.
