Code Ninjas programming ‘dojo’ planned at Lee Harrison Shopping Center

By Jared Serre, February 26, 2026  

A kid-focused coding academy is in the works at the Lee Harrison Shopping Center, and it’s already enrolling families. Code Ninjas, a programming “dojo” teaching skills like building video games and debugging code, has filed permits to take over a 900-square-foot space on the shopping center’s lower level at 2449 N. Harrison Street. The school plans to open in June, according to its Instagram page.

“At Code Ninjas Arlington, kids don’t just learn how to code — they build games, solve real-world challenges, strengthen critical thinking skills, and gain the confidence to create the future,” wrote the company, which has over 400 locations, including spots in Alexandria and Fairfax County.
