What matters to us

Anyone can be a developer. Coding is a learnable skill set. The tech industry should reflect the diversity of the real world.

These are the core values we live by every day.

Our Core Values

ANYONE CAN BE A DEVELOPER

No matter who you are, what you know or where you’re from, you can learn to code.

WHEN YOU’RE HERE, YOU’RE FAMILY

Yeah, ok. We kind of borrowed this one from the kingdom of unlimited salad and breadsticks, but it’s the truth. Everyone is welcome at Grand Circus.

OF THE PEOPLE

We know every neighborhood is different, so we work hard to adapt to what matters locally.

THE TECH INDUSTRY SHOULD REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF OUR COMMUNITY

We live in a diverse community. Why shouldn’t we work and learn in one too?

STUDENT SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS

We’ve done our jobs when students get jobs.

FEEDBACK IS A GIFT

We open our gifts and say thanks.

WE ACTUALLY LIKE MONDAYS

It’s pretty great waking up in the morning and loving what you do.

CREATIVELY EMBRACE CHAOS AND CHANGE

Pass a wrench. We’re building the plane while it’s in flight.
