what is the Alchemy difference?
the curriculum

Alchemy’s in-depth and advanced JavaScript program prepares students to contribute as software developer team members from day one.

We emphasize process, regular testing and immersive lab sessions to train Alchemy students to do more than just get their code to work, but to articulate how and why it does what it does.

We actively update our curriculum, training, tools and frameworks to maintain the utmost quality and relevance to the constantly-evolving local software industry and developer job market.
the instructors &
mentorship
With decades of real-life tech experience, our instructors teach students how to think like developers.

We don’t use video tutorials or rely on Alchemy students to teach other students.

At Alchemy, mentorship means daily, strategic career assistance for each individual student through empathetic interaction with experienced staff and instructors.

Alchemy students engage daily with industry professionals who provide ongoing support in the classroom and as field guides to Portland’s local tech scene.
a career-minded approach
Alchemy’s career track-focused JavaScript program propelled grads toward the highest median salary among comparable Portland code schools in 2018: $79 K.

An immersive and structured setting emulates a professional work environment, preparing Alchemy grads for full-time software engineer and developer positions at companies like Nike and eBay -- not low-level junior development positions.

Through our local partnerships and App Lab startup app development program, Alchemy grads have a place in cultivating Portland’s vibrant and inclusive software development culture.
