iCode Signs Agreement to Open in Georgia

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – iCode, a national computer science education franchise in the booming technology industry, announced today that it has signed an agreement to open a new location in Johns Creek.

Online classes will also be offered.

iCode differentiates itself in the fast-growing computer science education industry with its state-of-the-art facilities and proprietary curricula.

“Johns Creek is a great addition to the growing list of iCode facilities – we have no doubt that the new location will make iCode a household name in the area for young students who are ready to enter the world of coding and technology,” said Abid Abedi, founder and CEO of iCode. “With Johns Creek being one of the largest suburbs of Atlanta, we’re excited to bring this opportunity to kids in the area. We’re ready to educate these kids of all ages and prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow through robust and world-class computer science education.”

Through its menu of offerings and several classrooms in each location, the brand has built a business that supports multiple revenue streams.
