As any parent knows, extracurricular activities are tremendously beneficial to kids’ development. And after a particularly difficult year for sports, clubs, and after-school enrichment classes, naturally kids are eager to jump back in and explore their interests again.
Extracurriculars are also, well, “extra,” which means that after-school enrichment, especially high quality enrichment, is an investment. It’s a matter of weighing the cost of that extra club, sport, or class alongside what kids will get out of them, right?
What skills will my child develop? Will this give them a leg up when applying to college? Is this something they’ll actually enjoy?
These are all important questions!
We write about the benefits of learning to code for kids, designing games, tinkering with robotics, and just about all the ways kids can learn through STEAM—but what about the cost?
It’s an important factor to consider, so let's break down the tuition of the different coding class and virtual camp options.
What’s the price of a coding class?
We aim for transparency when it comes to the cost of our programs, and can go on and on about the value of the investment. But all of that said, it still might not be easy to take that next step and register. We get it!
So, we also wanted to share how you can save as much as possible on tuition, while also shedding light on how you can make a coding class more manageable.
Whether your child is looking for a personalized online coding class, an outlet for a fun hobby, or an expert or coding tutor to help them thrive in school, these cutting-edge classes are LIVE and ready to level up back to school season.
Coding class prices vary between programs. Here’s a quick rundown:
- In-Person Camps: Around $800+ per weekly session (varies)
- Virtual Tech Summer Camps: Around $400 per weekly session (varies)
- Semester Courses: Starting at $549 per 10-week session
- Online Private Lessons: Starting at $60 per 1-hour virtual tutoring session
(Please note that prices listed for summer camp courses are only estimates until programs launch in the Fall, at which time we will update the above.)

Launch Year-Round Enrichment
The best enrichment activities balance learning with fun, lifelong skills with what interests kids most at this stage of their lives. They should be the kind of experience where kids can extend their learning to hone new skills, deepen knowledge, and improve their well-being.
If you ask us, that investment is well worth it!
Plus, with the rise of virtual after-school activities that alleviate some of the logistical challenges involved in making time for enrichment, it’s easier than ever to connect kids with caring mentors (without the extra stress for parents). That means more time to explore coding, creative projects, competing on a robotics team—whatever piques their interest, on a more manageable, flexible schedule.
Our Semester courses and Online Private Lessons are back and better than ever this fall, revamped to incorporate feedback from our fantastic community of iD families and students. Kick off the year-round enrichment with the latest from our course catalog.
