We're on the hunt for an energetic and driven Center Director to lead our innovative learning center, with a clear pathway to ownership.
Who We Are
At Code Ninjas Alexandria, VA, we’re on a mission to transform how kids learn and grow. Through our game-based curriculum, we teach kids to code in a fun, safe, and inspiring environment. But it’s about more than just coding – it’s about empowering kids to think critically, solve problems, and collaborate effectively.
Our students, or "Ninjas," work with our talented instructors, known as "Senseis," to create games, tackle challenges, and develop skills that will last a lifetime. Since opening in 2019, we’ve become a hub for kids in the Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax communities, fostering creativity and confidence in a space they call their second home.

This isn’t just a job – it’s a chance to build something extraordinary.
