How much does a course cost?
Our courses vary in pricing, ranging from $499-$799 depending on the Program. The price includes a full suite of beyond-the-classroom benefits that your child has access to 24/7 to help them be successful. All courses meet for 12 class sessions.

Tuition can be split into monthly installments through Affirm.
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes, we have a significant discount for siblings. Siblings receive a $150 discount per course. For full details of the sibling discount and how to get it, please see our sibling discounts page.
My child has no coding experience. Is it ok?
Yes! Our classes are designed so that no prior experience is necessary.
Classes are beginner-friendly. Simply start with the first class in the program for your child’s age:
- Animation and Games with Scratch for ages 8-10
- Intro to Programming with Python for ages 11-13
- Intro to Python for ages 14-18
What course should I start with in elementary school?
The first course of the elementary school core track is Animation and Games with Scratch in the core track. Upon successful completion of the first course, students progress through our structured and progressive curriculum in the order that they are listed on the curriculum page. See the placement testing page if your student has significant coding experience and would like to start at a higher level in the core track.
How do you teach elementary students coding?
We start elementary school students, ages 8-10, with a fun introduction to block coding in Animation and Games with Scratch. Using a project-based approach, kids learn about computer science concepts in block code before moving on to text-based coding languages in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Classes in the Elementary School Core Track are designed to keep younger students engaged and interested in continuing to code.
My child already knows Scratch. What do I do?
If your child has good prior coding experience in Scratch, then take a placement exam to skip to the next course in the core track.
We highly recommend that you review the full course curriculum and feel confident about knowing that material before taking the placement exam.
What if my student needs help between classes?
Unlike other coding classes, all students have access to a full suite of beyond-the-classroom benefits including class recordings, live homework help, and the student forum. We’re here to support your child’s learning when they need us. See beyond-the-classroom benefits.
I have a 10 year old, which program should I enroll?
Most 10-year-old students should start with the Animation and Games with Scratch in the core track. If your child is 10 years old, you may choose the middle school core track if they are confident about text-based programming and have a typing speed of 25 wpm with 90% accuracy. After you complete the online enrollment, have your child take a typing test then email a screenshot of your results to school@codewizardshq.com to be placed in the middle school core track.
What if my child misses a class?
It’s easy to catch up. All class sessions are recorded. Recordings along with class slides are made available to the student shortly after the class is over. Students can review the recorded session and slides before the next class.
You also have a full suite of beyond-the-classroom benefits, everything your child needs to be successful (even if they miss a class). See full benefits.
