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. For a full breakdown of course pricing, please see pricing details page.
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 middle school?
The first course in the middle school core track is Intro to Programming with Python. 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 program.
How do you introduce coding to middle school students?
We introduce middle school students, ages 11-13, to coding with Python. Using a project-based approach, kids learn about Python syntax and programming concepts. Classes in the Middle School Core Track help kids build solid computational thinking and problem-solving skills and prepare them for high school coding.
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 13 year old, which program should I enroll?
Most students ages 11-13 should start with Intro to Programming with Python in the middle school core track. If your child is 13, you can also choose to enroll in the high school core track. This track moves at a slightly faster pace and your child will be in class with 14-18 year old students.
If you’re not sure which track is right for your child, contact our student specialists.
Do middle school courses have prerequisites?
The first course in the Middle School Core Track, Intro to Programming with Python, does not require any prior coding knowledge. The course is meant to build a strong foundation of coding knowledge and Python language for the rest of our courses.
Each course after that requires completion of the courses before it. You can see the prerequisites for each middle school course on the course details page.
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.
