Every unit ends in something that runs: a story, a game, a tool, a small data project.
Coding & AI
Online coding classes for kids, K–12
Wren School runs live online coding and AI classes for kindergarten to grade 12 in groups of 2, 4 or 8. Classes meet twice a week for 50 minutes with a background-checked tutor in the US or Canada. Children move from block coding to Python, and older students learn how AI tools work and where they go wrong. Plans start at $399 a month, and the first class is free.
Your first class is free. No payment details needed.

Debug out loud
Children explain what their code should do and why it doesn’t. Debugging is where most learning happens.
Understand AI
Older students learn, in plain language, how AI systems are trained, why they make mistakes and how to use them honestly.
Choose a group size
Every class is live and small. Pick how much individual time your child needs.
Group of 2
Near one-on-one attention with a study partner. Best for closing gaps or moving fast.
From $949 / month · about $119 a class
CAD $1,299 / month
Group of 4
Plenty of individual time plus real discussion. Our most balanced option.
From $649 / month · about $81 a class
CAD $899 / month
Group of 8
Small, never crowded. Every child still speaks up, with more ideas in the room.
From $399 / month · about $50 a class
CAD $549 / month
Prices are per child per month for 8 live 50-minute classes (two a week). See full pricing.
Questions about online coding classes
What age can kids start coding classes?
From kindergarten, with sequencing games and block coding. Most children move to text-based Python somewhere between grades 5 and 7, once they type comfortably.
Do you teach Scratch or Python?
Both. Younger children start with Scratch-style block coding. From middle school, students learn Python, plus web basics and algorithms.
Do you teach kids about AI?
Yes. Older students learn how AI and machine learning work, why AI tools make mistakes, and how to use them for learning without letting them do the thinking.
How much do online coding classes cost?
From $399 per child per month for a group of 8, $649 for a group of 4 and $949 for a group of 2, each with 8 live 50-minute classes a month (CAD $549, $899 and $1,299). The first class is free.
Who teaches the classes?
Tutors who live in the US or Canada and pass a background check before they teach. Every class is live; nothing is pre-recorded.
