  1. Instruction (Weeks 1-11): In this phase, students attend morning lectures daily, where they learn fundamentals, study methods, and how to use software tools to complete their homework assignments. Then, it’s time to practice and interact with new software programs. After lunch, they attend a conference and complete practice exercises that are turned in at the end of the day.
  2. Company projects (Weeks 12-14): In this period, students will work on two projects each day. These sessions will give students a chance to show what they have learned. These activities might be either individual or group coding projects. The school will also provide daily supplementary learning material throughout this period
  3. Interview preparation (Weeks 15-17): The final weeks at Rithm School are dedicated to career preparation. Students will learn how to apply for jobs, answer questions during job interviews, and agree on a salary. At this point, the instructors also assign take-home challenges to test students on everything they have learned to date.
