About Us
Coding for Homeschool Kids
At Homeschool Code Academy, our mission is to make it easy and fun for homeschool kids to learn coding, build real problem-solving skills, and discover the joy of being a creator, not just a consumer, of technology. The coding skills they build will lay a solid foundation for them to build on whether in computer science, engineering, data science, or AI.
Our courses were built from scratch for homeschool families. Every lesson is self-paced, video-driven, and designed so your student learns independently while you stay focused on the rest of their education. No tech background required from you, ever. And when anyone gets stuck, we're just an email away.
We also know homeschool families come in all sizes, so when you purchase a course, your entire family has access. No per-student fees, no extra licenses. One purchase covers all of your kids.
Meet Matt Bohn - Founder & Teacher
Homeschool kid. Software engineer. Homeschool dad.
My coding journey started with a Texas Instruments computer and a stack of outdated library books. No courses, no curriculum, no one to ask for help. Just curiosity and determination. By the time I finished high school, I was proficient in multiple programming languages. I know firsthand what it's like to be a homeschool kid trying to muscle through something alone.
I went on to earn a Computer Science degree (Summa Cum Laude), worked as a software engineer at IBM, and later built applications for companies including Microsoft, Transamerica, and the USDA. For the past 15 years, I've run my own software development company.
But the lightbulb moment came when I started teaching coding to my own kids and their homeschool friends. I saw that short, hands-on video lessons changed everything. Kids could pause, rewind, and move at their own pace. That small experiment became Homeschool Code Academy.
My approach is simple: one concept per video, code along with me, then try a challenge on your own. If you get stuck, a solution is available. I love seeing students gain real coding skills with one small win at a time.
My goal is to make coding accessible for homeschool kids and painless for their parents. I hope our courses are fun and inspiring, and that your student walks away not just knowing how to code but having confidence they can build things.
