How Much Do Coding Classes for Kids Cost?
Prices in Czechia and Slovakia in 2026

The question "how much do coding classes for kids cost" seems simple until you compare a few schools. One quotes a price per term, another per month, and lessons also vary in length.

There's another worry too: you pay for a whole term in September, and in October your child says coding is boring and wants to go back to football.

In this article we show what coding courses for children cost in Czechia and Slovakia in 2026 and explain what to compare before you pay and whether it's worth paying for a whole term at once.

It depends on the format. In Czechia, an online group course at a coding school costs from 3,690 CZK for 15 lessons, and a classroom group course from 5,980 CZK for a term of 16 lessons. In Slovakia, the same formats start at 138 euros for 10 online lessons and 42 euros a month for classroom lessons. One-to-one lessons cost more: from 600 CZK a lesson in Czechia and from 25 euros in Slovakia.

We took these prices from the websites of schools and tutors and give the starting price for each format, without promotional discounts. We don't name the schools because prices change often.

If your child has never had coding lessons, it's safer not to commit for long, even if that costs a little more. It's true that at many of the schools we looked at, paying for a whole term at once is cheaper. At one Prague school, paying monthly costs about 1,000 CZK more per term; in Slovakia, paying in two instalments at one school adds 10 euros per term. But that saving only makes sense if your child stays until the end of the term.

Some schools sell lessons in packages, so you can start with a few lessons and pay for more once you see your child enjoys them.

Most often, equipment, travel and missed lessons.

Not every course works on a tablet: Roblox Studio, for example, is a program for Windows and Mac computers. If you have to buy a laptop, add it to the cost of the course. The programs themselves cost nothing: Scratch, Roblox Studio and Python are free. For online lessons you also need a stable internet connection.

A classroom course across town costs your family time: every week you drive your child there, wait and drive back. If the trip takes half an hour each way, over a term of 16 lessons that adds up to about 16 hours on the road. An online lesson takes place at home, so you save that time.

Missed lessons are a cost too. All it takes is a cold in November or a school trip on lesson day, and the lesson is lost. If the school doesn't offer a catch-up lesson, you've paid for teaching your child never got.

A price list won't show you how a course is taught, so ask every school the same questions by email or phone and write down each school's answers side by side:

• how many lessons the course has and how long each one is;
• how many children there can be in a group: some schools take no more than 5, others up to 16, and in a group of fifteen, a child who gets stuck waits longer for help than in a group of eight;
• what children your child's age created by the end of the course: in a good course, every child has projects they made themselves;
• how the school selects its teachers and checks their work: being able to program isn't enough, because a good teacher also has to explain a task clearly to a nine-year-old who didn't get it the first time;
• what happens if your child misses a lesson;
• how you'll learn about your child's progress: without reports from the school, you only know what your child decides to show you;
• how you can pay and whether you can start with a small package of lessons;
• whether there's a free trial lesson.

Lessons at Algonova take place online once a week. A group lesson lasts 90 minutes and a group has no more than 10 children; a one-to-one lesson lasts 60 minutes. Below are our answers to the other questions on the list, in the same order.

Each course has its own age range: Scratch for 8 to 10, Roblox for 10 to 12, Python Start for 12 to 14, Python Pro for 14 to 17 and Frontend for 15 to 17. In every lesson the teacher explains a new topic, and the children use it straight away in their own project: depending on the course, an animation, a game, a program or a website. In a group, children show each other their projects, work in pairs and make one shared game in which everyone builds their own part. At the end of the course your child has a portfolio of these projects and an international-style certificate in English. We explain which course suits your child in our article on what age kids should start coding.

Every teacher at Algonova has passed three rounds of selection, and we assess their work every three months. If your child misses a lesson, the teacher covers the missed topic with them one-to-one at no extra cost. And if you're staying with the grandparents, your child can join the lesson from there.

Three times a year we send you a written report on what your child has covered, what is going well and what to practise next. You can also join an open lesson online and ask the teacher your questions.

You decide how many lessons to pay for at once: there are packages of 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 lessons, and the bigger the package, the lower the price per lesson. A five-lesson package is a good way to start: you don't have to pay for a whole term at once.

And before you pay anything, your child can take a free trial lesson.

The easiest way to see what you'd be paying for is to let your child try. Book a free 60-minute trial lesson: your child works on a coding task with a teacher, online and one-to-one. Afterwards you get a learning plan and can compare our offer with others in your own time.
