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.
tldr: Rithm wins for best instruction, curriculum, community, and job seeking support.
Curriculum: All of Rithm's curriculum can be found online. They are continually re-evaluating and making sure they are teaching the most relevant and in demand topics while also teaching solid CS and engineering skills. The content is modern, relevant, and still full of the necessary foundational computer science and problem solving skills you need to be a successful software engineer.

Internship/Company project: Towards the end of your program, you'll get assigned to a company project where you'll pair with fellow students and a Rithm instructor to make meaningful contributions to a real production code base. This is ran like an internship and nothing is more satisfying than seeing something you built go live!!! And when it comes time to job hunt, you'll have relevant experience to help guide those interview conversations.
Instruction: If you want to teach yourself, just go watch youtube videos and read tutorials on medium or quora. If you want to actually have instructors that will patiently help you with ANYTHING that you're struggling with, go to Rithm. Code alongs, lectures with slides you can actually keep/reference back to, lab projects and sprints that involve pair programming and solo projects, stretch goals for advanced students and further study for students who need more scaffolding before mastering a topic.
Community: So much of community depends on your fellow cohort members. Each cohort will have its own personality, but the staff will go the extra mile to make sure everyone is included, safe, and comfortable. Sorry judgy mcjudgersons, you won't find a home here.
Job seeking support: At the end of the day, what every potential boot camper wants to know is "will I find a job." Rithm publishes their numbers transparently. The onus is you to do the job seeking, but they are there for you to provide the skills on how to job seek and where to look. The Rithm alumni networking is growing and we refer where we can. The instructors helped me with things like advice for negotiating once I got my job offer, editing my cover letter and resume, practice whiteboarding and take home projects.
Rithm has all kinds of free coding meet ups. There is no better way to check out a school than to see how they teach these free workshops. Most of us alumni are also very findable on LinkedIn, so feel free to reach out to chat! Or better yet, just apply to Rithm and join our awesome community!
