Rithm School offers a full-stack web development course that is full-time, remote and lasts 4 months. While Rithm School is based in San Francisco, our classes are currently held remotely.
The Rithm School curriculum is centered around JavaScript and Python, and also covers in-demand topics like React, TypeScript, Node, Flask, Express, computer science fundamentals, and more. Students get hands-on support and receive a high-touch education and real world project experience they need to become successful software engineers. Rithm School was founded to fill a gap in the bootcamp industry: classes are capped at just 20 students, so students get one-on-one learning with instructors who are experienced software engineers and educators.
The admissions process consists of an online application, an informational call with the admissions team, a technical assessment, and a combined behavioral and technical interview. Rithm School provides free resources and events to help learners become interview-ready, as well as interactive support and feedback through their Slack channel.
The final weeks of Rithm School consist of a real-world project in a live codebase, as well as preparation for technical and behavioral job interviews. Students also receive one-on-one mentorship from a career coach who will help prepare them for each stage of the job search. This support lasts for the rest of their career.
I was fortunate enough to attend the full-time web development course at Rithm School as a part of their third cohort. I can say, with full confidence, that this was one of the best learning experiences that I've had to date. And here's why.

I was fortunate enough to attend the full-time web development course at Rithm School as a part of their third cohort. I can say, with full confidence, that this was one of the best learning experiences that I've had to date. And here's why.
Learning how to learn
At Rithm, I learnt a whole slew of programming languages (Javascript, Python, Ruby) and their corresponding libraries and frameworks. But the most important skill that I learnt at Rithm was learning how to learn. Bare with me, this concept takes a while to explain.
If you haven't done any programming in the past, you will find out that it's exceptionally difficult to learn a new programming language. In addition to this, you will have to learn how to use libraries and frameworks to make life easier when you're developing an app. Rithm's curriculum makes it much easier to pick up languages because it challenges you to think about how the language works under the hood (e.g. 'what does the "reduce" function actually do') and why it works that way. This is drilled into you in the first month of the program (along with how to debug properly) and by the end of it, I was confident enough to pick up languages, libraries and frameworks in my own time and learn them without any assistance.
Smaller class sizes
Rithm has a policy of keeping class sizes small so that there are enough instructors to help out students at all times. My cohort had 10 students and the difference was noticeable. I had heard horror stories of students at other boot camps needing to submit support requests online and having to wait for a long while before any help was given. That's not the case at Rithm. If you're stuck you can walk up to an instructor and ask for help and guidance at any time.
Company projects
Nothing is learnt well unless it is applied. This rings true for programming. You can learn how to program by yourself and build your own projects but that doesn't prepare you for the reality of working at a company. That's where Rithm's company projects come in to bridged that gap. Not only will you be working with seasoned software engineers at companies, you will also be tasked with making design/structure decisions as well as planning and executing certain workflows for the company projects.
I personally found that working on these projects helped me discover and evaluate what type of software engineer I wanted to be and the types of workflows that I enjoyed in software development. This helped shaped my career aspirations and goals.
Great mentors
Elie, Matt and Tim are some of the best instructors that you will come across. They explain and demonstrate concepts well and take time out to ensure that information is properly absorbed before moving on. In addition, they are extremely dedicated to keeping the curriculum up-to-date to ensure that you are learning the most relevant material.
All in all, you can't go wrong if you choose Rithm. Yes, the price is a bit steep in comparison to most other boot camps but the quality of instruction that you will receive is unparalleled.
