Our Specialties
Our academy was founded on the principle of mastering the fundamental skills of programming. We firmly believe that a solid foundation in programming provides students with a gateway to explore the numerous specializations within the field of Computer Science.
Introductory Programming Languages
We begin with teaching introductory programming languages such as Python and Java, which allowed our students to strengthen their logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
AP CS A
we prepare our students for the AP CS A. Many found the class and exam easier and more approachable after studying with us, with our students achieving A's in the class and 5's on the exam.
USACO
With a strong foundation in place, we guide our students to success in programming contests like the USA Coding Olympiad (USACO).
Congressional App Challenge
we expand our curriculum to include app and game development, giving our students the opportunity to find success in the Congressional App Challenge and kick start their portfolios.
Students Learn from Our In-House Platform: Btree Quiz Bank
Students will have access to our Btree Quiz Bank, a video-assisted problem-solving platform. It offers high-quality video lectures and over 3000 coding quiz sets. By tackling challenging problems, Btree students develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills that go beyond coding.

That’s why we empower our students with a strong programming foundation, enabling them to code confidently, skillfully, and with endless fun.
Goals & Roadmap
Achieve Tangible Goals with Every Course! Each of our courses is designed with clear, achievable goals. By the end, students will have completed meaningful tasks and gained the skills to replicate their success. To ensure transparency, we offer a parent portal where parents can easily track their child’s progress, keeping them informed and engaged every step of the way.
How we started
"We believe coding is an essential skill that you can bring anywhere in the world and open up many opportunities!"
As a software engineer and a startup founder, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible potential coding offers for career growth and personal development. Coding opens countless doors, whether pursued as a hobby or a profession, especially as technology becomes more central to our lives.
In 2016, I founded Btree Code Academy (formerly Irvine Code Academy) to share my expertise and provide exceptional education to aspiring young coders in our community. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of teaching hundreds of enthusiastic students, helping them excel in competitions, create mobile apps and games, and launch their coding careers. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and determination continually inspire me to support them in reaching their full potential
