Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2013 is a very powerful development environment, essentially a revamped edition of Visual Studio Professional 2013 which is now available for (mostly) free.
As you'll know if you ever looked at Visual Studio 2013, Community is a product with something for just about everyone. You can code apps and applications in C++, C#, VB, F#, HTML5, Python, JavaScript and more. Designers, editors, debuggers and profilers help to polish your work. There's web tooling for ASP.NET, Node.js, and JavaScript, and Apache Cordova and Unity tools mean you can target iOS and Android, as well as Windows.
Bundled tools include Peek, Blend, Code Analysis and full C# refactoring, and if that's not enough then there's full access to Visual Studio's 5000+ extensions.
The Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop Language Pack is a free add-on that you can use to switch the language that's displayed in the Visual Studio user interface.

This does make for an absolutely huge product. The tiny installer is just a stub, which took around 2 hours to download and install every feature of the full product on our test PC (this had a basic 8Mbps broadband connection, and would have been much faster if we'd avoided some of the optional downloads).
The end result for us took up 15GB of hard drive space, and added more than 40 elements to the installed applications list on our test PC.
Community does put an enormous amount of power in your hands, though, and the licensing terms are generous, too. Individuals and up to five people within non-enterprise organisations can use it to create free or paid applications, and everyone else can also use it for non-commercial purposes (teaching, open source products).
Verdict:
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2013 is a vast, full-featured product, and a must-have if you're a serious Windows developer who's also on a budget.
Visual Studio Code is not Visual Basic Express, nor does it recreate the underlying Microsoft Windows system features and libraries that Visual Basic Express expects. If the school requires Visual Basic Express, then you need to provide your son with a Windows solution on his Mac. Depending on the school's business relationship with Microsoft, they may offer a less expensive, and even potentially, a free version of Windows 10. Inquire.

Your son can run any of these solutions on the 2015 MacBook Pro with El Capitan. If it is an 8GB RAM machine, you may want to caution about running any other applications while using the Virtual Machines, or your son may run out of memory. I currently run Windows 10 w/Fall Creator's update in VirtualBox 5.2.6 on a 2011 Mac mini with 16GB RAM.

If you go the VirtualMachine route, I would assign 50 GB - 75 GB of storage to the guest container because of the continuous inundation of bloated Microsoft updates, and additional software (development) installations. The Creators updates are close to 7 GB each. You might let Time Machine back this up the VM guest once, and then in Time Machine Preferences, add the VM directory to the exclusions. Each time you change something in the guest container, Time Machine will back it up, and it is a quick way to exhaust a Time Machine drive.
