Coding Classes in Purmerend | Modern Age Coders

Course picks for Purmerend

Four courses for a market town and its polder

A groep 5 child in Middenbeemster who wants to build a game, a teenager in Weidevenne with an app idea for the Thursday market, a student who commutes to Amsterdam and is analysing a survey that one customer in ten answered, and an adult in Overwhere whose team decides things from a feedback form. Any of them can begin with a full lesson that costs nothing.

Ages 8 to 12

Purmerend today

A market town, an Amsterdam growth town, and since 2022 the Beemster too

The national register held 96,182 people on 1 January 2026, in 43,664 households averaging 2.16 people, on 93.61 square kilometres of land inside 96.63 of territory: a published 1,025 residents to the square kilometre. In 1995 the count was 73,084. The statistics office has recalculated the years before the 2022 merger to the present boundaries, so that figure already includes the Beemster, and the gain of 23,098 people, 32 percent, is on the same ground throughout.

A market town since the fifteenth century

From 1434 Purmerend is described as a town in official documents, and in 1484 it received market rights. The town has called itself Marktstad for many years, and the Purmerends Museum stands in the old centre. The encyclopaedia names seven wijken for the town: Centrum, Overwhere, Wheermolen, Purmer-Noord, De Gors, Purmer-Zuid and Weidevenne.

Growth for Amsterdam

As a groeikern from the 1960s Purmerend grew at great speed: after 1960 the population rose from about 10,000 to about 80,000. The encyclopaedia puts it plainly: the town lies conveniently for Amsterdam, where many residents, often former residents of the capital, work.

Families, and an older quarter

15,586 of the 43,664 households have children and 15,744 hold one person. 14,241 residents are under fifteen, 10,401 are aged fifteen to twenty-five, 24,402 twenty-five to forty-five and 25,988 forty-five to sixty-five, while 21,150 are sixty-five or over, 22 percent.

The Beemster, dry since 19 May 1612

The Beemster became dry land on 19 May 1612, with Jan Adriaanszoon Leeghwater in an advisory role, and in 1999 the polder was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Within it lie four villages: Middenbeemster, Noordbeemster, Westbeemster and Zuidoostbeemster. The former municipality of Beemster covered 72.08 square kilometres, 2.80 of them water. On 1 January 2022 it was dissolved and merged with Purmerend, after a council election for the new municipality on 24 November 2021 at which the turnout was 32.4 percent.

Land, people, voters

Three Purmerends, depending on what is counted

The area and population figures come from the statistics office and the encyclopaedia, each with its year. The shares in the last column are divisions made on this page, and they are rounded to what the inputs can support.

How much of the merged municipality is the Beemster
What is counted	The Beemster	The whole municipality	Beemster share
Territory	72.08 square kilometres, the former municipality	96.63 square kilometres (2025)	about three quarters
Residents, 1 January 2021	10,110	91,805, recalculated to the present boundaries	about one in nine
People who voted for the first joint council, 24 November 2021	not split by former municipality here	32.4 percent of those entitled to vote	not known

A map shaded by area makes Purmerend look like a polder with a town attached. A headcount makes it a town with a polder attached. And the council that governs both was chosen by about a third of the people entitled to choose it, which says nothing about the other two thirds, who may think exactly like the voters or not at all. Each view is correct for its own question and misleading for the others: a figure about land is not a figure about people, and a figure about the people who answered is not a figure about everyone who was asked.

Verified local facts

Purmerend in figures, and every division made here

The statistics office row for the municipality with the year of each figure, then schools, then the arithmetic and the things this page will not say.

The register

96,182 residents (2026), 95,912 (2025), 92,240 (2022), 91,805 (2021), 88,319 (2013) and 73,084 (1995), all on present boundaries; 46,972 men and 48,940 women (2025); 43,664 households (2025) averaging 2.16, 15,744 single-person and 15,586 with children; 9,663 hectares, 9,361 land and 302 water; published density 1,025.

Homes, income and origin

43,479 dwellings (2025), 26,087 owner-occupied at 60 percent and 17,392 rented; estimated average value 407,000 euro (2025); income 34,600 euro per resident and 41,600 per income recipient (2024); 2.4 percent of residents in poverty. By origin (2025): 66,174 Dutch, 7,473 European and 22,265 non-European; 79,781 residents were born in the Netherlands.

Schools

31 primary establishments teach 7,670 pupils, about 247 each, and 8 secondary establishments teach 4,738, about 592 each. The office records 1,521 students at MBO institutions in the municipality and none at institutions of higher professional or university education. The office lists eight wijken for the municipality; the encyclopaedia names seven for the town itself.

The Beemster

Dry since 19 May 1612, with Leeghwater advising; on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1999; the villages of Middenbeemster, Noordbeemster, Westbeemster and Zuidoostbeemster; 72.08 square kilometres, 2.80 of them water; 10,110 residents on 1 January 2021; dissolved and merged with Purmerend on 1 January 2022.

Every division

96,182 minus 73,084 is 23,098, which is 32 percent of 73,084. 72.08 of 96.63 square kilometres is 75 percent. 10,110 of 91,805 residents in 2021 is 11 percent, about one in nine; the two counts come from two office pages, so only that rounded share is used. 7,670 pupils over 31 establishments is about 247; 4,738 over 8 is about 592. Nothing else was calculated.

What the page does not say

It says nothing about the result of the November 2021 election, any party or any candidate, and nothing about how the non-voters would have voted. It computes no density for the Beemster against the town, since one area includes water and the other would be a subtraction. And it does not reconcile the encyclopaedia figure of 83,536 for the town in 2024 with the municipal count, since they describe different units.

Modern Age Coders has no connection with Purmerend, the Beemster, the council or any school or museum in the municipality, and nothing here implies one. The municipal figures are the statistics office row for Purmerend at the years given, with the years before 2022 as the office has recalculated them to the present boundaries. The Beemster resident count for 2021 is from the office page on the 2022 merger, and the history, the villages, the election date and the turnout are from the encyclopaedia entries for Purmerend and the Beemster.

Signature project

Who answered, and who was only counted

Every result from a vote, a survey or a feedback button is a result about the people who took part. The first job is to know how many that was.

1. Count who was asked

Everyone entitled to vote in the new municipality was asked in November 2021. That number is the base against which every answer has to be read, and without it any result is a fraction with no bottom.

2. Count who answered

The turnout was 32.4 percent. About two in every three people who could have taken part did not, and nothing in the result says whether they would have answered the same way. A response rate is the first number to print, not a footnote.

3. Say whose answer it is

Write the result as the choice of those who voted, not of Purmerend. The same discipline applies to the map and the headcount: a figure about the land is about the land, and a figure about residents is about residents.

The same gap between who was asked and who answered
Where it happens	Who was asked	Who answered	The usual mistake
A customer survey	every customer on the list	the few who replied	reporting the replies as what customers think
App store reviews	every person who installed the app	the handful who wrote a review	reading the average star rating as general satisfaction
Usage data	every user of a product	those who left tracking switched on	treating the tracked users as all users
Exit questionnaires	everyone who left	the ones who bothered to fill it in	assuming the unhappy ones are represented
The first council election of the merged Purmerend	everyone entitled to vote	32.4 percent of them	describing the result as what Purmerend wanted

A response rate belongs next to every result

The people who answer a question are rarely a random sample of the people who were asked. They may care more, have more time, feel more strongly, or simply be the kind of person who answers things, and each of those can move the result in a direction that the result itself cannot reveal. That is why survey researchers weight their answers, why careful product teams compare the users who respond with the users who do not on everything they know about both, and why a good report prints its response rate beside its headline. Machine learning inherits the same problem through its data: a model trained on the users who agreed to share data learns about those users, and a model trained on reviews learns about reviewers. Purmerend shows the idea with published figures and no drama. Its first joint council was chosen on a turnout of 32.4 percent, which is a fact about participation and implies nothing about the absent two thirds. Its territory is three quarters polder and its population nine tenths town, which is a fact about the difference between land and people. In each case the error is the same small word: saying Purmerend when the figure is about a particular part of it.

Reliable pipeline

Five habits for any result that came from volunteers

Polls, surveys, reviews, feedback forms, opt-in data and elections all report on the people who took part. Practised on a town whose council, map and headcount each tell a different story.

Reporting a result for the people it really describes
Stage	Rule	What it prevents	What it gives you
Record the base	Store how many were asked as well as how many answered	Results with no denominator	A response rate you can print
Print the rate	Put the response rate next to every headline figure	A third passed off as the whole	Readers who can judge the result
Compare the groups	Check responders against non-responders on anything known about both	Unseen differences between them	A sense of which way the bias runs
Name the subject	Say whether a figure is about land, residents or participants	A map read as a headcount	Statements about the right group
Keep the silence	Treat non-response as missing, never as agreement	Two thirds counted as a yes	Honest uncertainty

For younger learners

A class vote on the next story, where only the children who put up their hands are counted. Then the same vote with everyone asked by name, and a discussion of why the two results can be different.

For teenagers

A small Python simulation of a town where people who feel strongly are more likely to answer a survey. The teenager compares the survey result with the true figure and measures how far apart they drift as the response rate falls.

For adults

A feedback form or survey from work, rewritten with its response rate and a comparison of who answered against who did not. Adults often find the headline figure described a much smaller group than anyone had assumed.

This section rests on four published facts: the area of the former Beemster, the area of the merged municipality, the 2021 resident counts for the Beemster and the municipality on present boundaries, and the turnout at the election of 24 November 2021. The page draws two proportions from them and one caution, and it offers no opinion on how the election came out.

Coding and AI

An AI will tell you what Purmerend decided. Why should a teenager in Weidevenne ask how many people took part?

Because the first council of the merged town was chosen on a turnout of 32.4 percent.

Ask a language model what Purmerend wanted when it merged with the Beemster, and it will answer in the voice of the town, because that is how news reports are written and how it learned to summarise them. It will not usually say that about two in three people entitled to vote did not, or that nobody knows what they would have chosen. The same model, asked about a product, will summarise its reviews as what customers think, and the reviews came from the small share of customers who write reviews. The answer is fluent in both cases, and in both cases it describes the answerers as if they were everyone.

A learner who has written a simulation in which the people who feel strongly are more likely to reply, and watched the survey drift away from the truth as fewer people answered, carries that picture into every dataset afterwards. Machine learning depends on it, since models are built from whatever data happened to be collected, and the people who opt in, click, rate or reply are almost never a fair picture of the rest. Models will keep speaking for everyone. Asking who actually took part stays a human job.

The case for a child in Purmerend learning to code in 2026 is therefore not the commute to Amsterdam. It is that anyone who has counted the people who did not answer learns never to confuse a response with a population again. The longer argument is in why a child should still learn to code in 2026.

Delivery

Live classes for Purmerend and the Beemster

Purmerend reaches from the town wijken to the Beemster villages across a polder of long straight roads, and a family in either has an evening that fills up quickly once the commute to Amsterdam is done.

No drive across the polder

From Westbeemster or Noordbeemster a class in town is a drive each way, and a class in Amsterdam is further still. The lesson opens on a laptop at home at the agreed hour, and the long straight road stays empty for the evening.

School terms in Dutch

Groep, havo, vwo and profielkeuze are kept in Dutch during lessons, just as a Purmerend school writes them on every report. The teacher works with the school vocabulary rather than around it.

A lesson, not a pitch

The free hour is taught with a real task while the teacher watches how the learner works, and it ends with a level, a course and a regular time. No card details are asked for, and no sales call follows.

Groups by stage, from everywhere

Five to ten learners at the same point in the same subject. Purmerend has 14,241 residents under fifteen, and five at one exact stage wanting one exact hour is still a rare thing, so groups come from a worldwide pool.

Regio Noord holidays

Two lessons a week, about eight a month, at one fixed hour. Noord-Holland schools take regio Noord holidays, which differ from the south of the country, and the teaching calendar keeps to them.

After the commute

India is three and a half hours ahead in summer and four and a half in winter, and only the Dutch clock moves. The early evening, after the train or the bus from Amsterdam, and weekend mornings both stay available all year.

Thirty-one primary schools, eight secondary, and a class that forms elsewhere

Purmerend has 31 primary establishments teaching 7,670 pupils and 8 secondary establishments teaching 4,738. However many schools a town has, a coding group needs five learners at the same stage of the same subject free at the same hour, and a pool that large only exists across every age from 6 to 67 and every country the teachers serve.

FAQ

Purmerend coding class questions

The town, the Beemster, one election and two maps, the lessons and the terms.

What does Purmerend include?

The town of Purmerend, with wijken such as Centrum, Overwhere, Wheermolen, Purmer-Noord, De Gors, Purmer-Zuid and Weidevenne, and since 1 January 2022 the former municipality of Beemster, with the villages of Middenbeemster, Noordbeemster, Westbeemster and Zuidoostbeemster. The statistics office lists eight wijken for the merged municipality.

How many people live in Purmerend?

The statistics office counted 96,182 residents on 1 January 2026, in 43,664 households. On the present boundaries the count was 73,084 in 1995, so the municipality has grown by 23,098, or 32 percent. The years before 2022 have been recalculated to include the Beemster.

How big is the Beemster compared with the rest of Purmerend?

The Beemster covers 72.08 of the 96.63 square kilometres of the merged municipality, about three quarters. On 1 January 2021 it had 10,110 of 91,805 residents on the present boundaries, about one in nine. So most of the land is polder and most of the people live in the town.

Why is the Beemster a world heritage site?

The polder became dry land on 19 May 1612, with Jan Adriaanszoon Leeghwater in an advisory role, and it was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1999, according to the encyclopaedia entry for the Beemster.

How many people voted when Purmerend and the Beemster merged?

The election for the council of the new municipality was held on 24 November 2021, with a turnout of 32.4 percent. The result therefore reflects the choices of about a third of those entitled to vote; it says nothing about how the other two thirds would have voted. This page takes no view on the result.

How many schools are there in Purmerend?

The statistics office counts 31 primary establishments teaching 7,670 pupils and 8 secondary establishments teaching 4,738, with 1,521 students at MBO institutions in the municipality. Nothing on this page rates any school.

What language are lessons in, and at what time?

English, with Dutch school words such as groep, havo and vwo kept in Dutch. India is three and a half hours ahead in summer and four and a half in winter, so after-school, early-evening and weekend slots all fit. A weekly time is fixed at the free lesson, and holidays follow regio Noord.

Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Purmerend?

No, and none is claimed here or anywhere in the Netherlands. All teaching is live and online and needs a laptop or desktop, working audio, a current browser and a connection that holds. The telephone number shown on this page is an Indian one and is described as such.

What do Purmerend coding classes cost?

The first lesson is free. After it, group tuition is USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, normally eight across the month, in a group of five to ten learners. One-to-one tuition is USD 150 a month at the same frequency with a single teacher. Course, format, recurring hour and availability are all confirmed before anything is paid.

How many learners are in a group?

Five to ten, matched on level, pace and goal rather than on age, school or address. One-to-one means a single learner with a single teacher. When no group at the right level is running, a family can take one-to-one lessons or wait for the next group to form.

Into Amsterdam, and across Noord-Holland

Many Purmerend residents work in the capital, which has its page and eight district pages under coding classes in Amsterdam. Elsewhere in the province are Zaanstad, where a 1974 merger created a new row rather than a longer one, and Alkmaar, and the whole province is on Noord-Holland. A learner who wants to start with machine learning can go straight to the AI and Python Academy, and every page in the series is listed on the Netherlands coding hub.
