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.

Let me put your mind at ease; no these reviews are not from bots, yes they are all posted by real graduates, and yes Rithm School is just that amazing! I can only reiterate on all the advantages that make Rithm stand out that have been hammered in by so many reviews below:

If you've researched Rithm School as much as I had across Course Report, SwitchUp and Yelp, you probably had the same questions I did. Let me put your mind at ease; no these reviews are not from bots, yes they are all posted by real graduates, and yes Rithm School is just that amazing! I can only reiterate on all the advantages that make Rithm stand out that have been hammered in by so many reviews below:
Company Projects: In terms of the post-grad job search, this matters - a lot. Having real experience in a live production codebase that is magnitudes larger than personal apps and small projects counts for so much in the eyes of recruiters and engineering teams. Most entry-level engineering roles involve less of creating things from scratch and more of going into an existing codebase blind, learning and navigating the code structure, and making tweaks and changes to improve the final product in a way that complements the existing methodology. Being able to put this experience in your resume, and more importantly talk it up during interviews, puts you light-years ahead of most self-taught curriculums.
Instructor Quality: While company projects help to get your foot in the door for a new job, it's really the learning and retention that keep you there and allow you to thrive in your career. The instructors at Rithm are all top-notch in their knowledge of technical concepts, working methodology, and modern topics in the engineering industry. However, it's really their focus and experience as educators that set them apart from those at other bootcamps. They continuously consider and tweak the material and teaching styles to ensure that each student comprehends the most relevant portions of each concept, and at the very least has an avenue to pursue further learning. They genuinely want each person to succeed in their own personal goals, and will work alongside them to help navigate that path to success. That also means they are willing to call out areas that you may need improvement on, or if you're going down an irrelevant, tangential path. They're also hilarious.
Small Class Size: Class sizes generally range from 12-18 students, a far cry from the 30+ you'll find at other bootcamps. The high teacher-to-student ratio allows for more dedicated time for each student to ask questions, receive more help, and pursue advanced topics if desired. You'll also get closer to your classmates than you would expect as you struggle and bond together. The alumni network at Rithm is ever-growing, and genuinely looks out for one another.
These are the big three stand-out features I felt really distinguishes Rithm School from other bootcamps. Other aspects that are also high-quality are their focus on pair programming and learning collaboration, their late-stage and post-grad guidance and connections for job-searching, and a truly social and welcoming environment to build your network and friendships.
Absolutely attend one of their many free evening meetups just to experience their teaching style, talk to the instructors, and ask a million detailed questions of every concern you might have. Reach out to myself or the many Rithm alumni that will be happy and excited to talk to you about their experiences. And do that with any other bootcamp you're considering so you can make the best decision for yourself. Transitioning careers is never easy, and while Rithm School will provide you with the best tools and mindset for making that change, in the end it will be up to you to push for what you want to achieve
