What coding classes cost in Germany, and what you pay for
Two coding classes can carry the same monthly price and give a child very different amounts of teaching. One is a weekly video with a quiz, the other two live hours with a mentor who reads the child's code. This page explains what pushes the cost of a coding class up or down, how our own fee works, why it is shown in euro but charged in US dollars, and which questions turn any price into something you can compare.

In short
What a coding class costs in Germany depends mostly on five things: live teaching or video, group size, live hours per month, the teacher's experience and the payment terms. Modern Age Coders charges one monthly fee for eight live one-hour classes in English, in a group of fifteen to twenty or one to one, shown below in euro and charged in US dollars. The first class is free.
Courses behind the fee
What the same monthly fee buys at three ages
The fee is the same across our children's and teenagers' courses; what changes is what the eight classes contain.
What decides how much a coding class costs in Germany?
We know of no official price list for private coding classes in Germany, and we do not print other providers' prices. What we can do is show which choices make a class cost more or less, so that you can judge any quote you receive.

Currency and payment
Conversion and card charges on foreign-currency payments
Which currency is charged, and are there extra charges at checkout?
The drivers and checks are our own analysis. We found no official source that publishes a price level for private coding classes in Germany, so this page quotes none, and it never prints another provider's price.
The single most useful number
Whatever a provider charges, divide it by the number of live hours of teaching it buys. A monthly fee for eight live hours and a term fee for twelve can only be compared once both are turned into the price of one hour with a teacher.
Then weigh that hour: one teacher with three learners is a different hour from one teacher with twenty, and an hour with someone who already knows your child differs from an hour with a rotating stranger.
What does not belong in the comparison
Course counts, video libraries, certificates and app subscriptions are cheap to add and easy to advertise. They rarely tell you what your child will learn. A family that compares live hours, group size and teacher continuity has compared what matters.
Free options belong in the picture too. They are a real alternative for some children and a good warm-up for others; the section on school below lists what is already free.
Our fee
How does the Modern Age Coders fee work for families in Germany?
One fee per month, for eight live classes of an hour each. The euro amounts are in the fees section further down this page; this section explains what sits behind them.
Included
Eight live one-hour classes a month in English, one regular mentor, placement by level, the projects and exercises used in class, and written progress notes.
Two formats
A group of fifteen to twenty learners at a similar level, or one to one. One to one costs more because the mentor's whole hour belongs to one learner.
Not included
A computer, an internet connection, and any paid game or software a particular course relies on; the course page says so if one is needed. We never ask under-18s to sign up for tools whose terms set a minimum age of 18.

Our own terms. Where this summary and the refund page disagree, the refund page wins; the fees section of this page shows the current euro amounts.
We tell you about the gateway charge here, before the checkout, because a cost page that left it for the last screen would not be an honest cost page. It is a percentage added by us to cover the payment provider, it is shown as its own line, and the total you approve is the total charged in dollars.
Euro and dollars
Why is the fee shown in euro but charged in US dollars?
Families in Germany think in euro, so we show euro. Our payment system charges in US dollars, so the bank makes the final conversion. Here is why the two can differ by a little.
What the ECB rate is
The euro amounts on this page are converted at the euro foreign exchange reference rate of the European Central Bank. The ECB updates these reference rates at around 16:00 CET on every working day, on the basis of a daily exchange between central banks across Europe.
Our pricing uses the reference rate of 30 October 2026, when the ECB listed 1.1172 US dollars to the euro. By 2 November 2026 the listed rate was 1.1216, a move of about 0.39 percent in one working day by our arithmetic.
Why your statement can differ
The ECB states that its reference rates are published for information purposes only and that using them for transactions is strongly discouraged. Your bank does not pay or charge at the ECB rate: it applies its own rate on the day the payment is booked, and some banks add a fee for card payments in another currency.
That is why every euro amount on our pages says "about". If the exact amount matters, look at what your bank charges for payments in US dollars before you pay.
Source: European Central Bank, Euro foreign exchange reference rates, page read on 3 November 2026, and the ECB daily reference rate file for 30 October 2026. The percentage is our calculation: (1.1216 − 1.1172) ÷ 1.1172.
A counting project
Is two coding classes a week the same as eight a month?
Not quite, and the difference is worth knowing when you compare a monthly fee with a weekly or termly one. Our students check it with a few lines of Python.
The shortcut
A month is "about four weeks", so two classes a week makes eight a month. It is the arithmetic most price lists use, and it is the reason our monthly fee is defined as eight live classes rather than as a number of weeks.
Students start by writing that shortcut as a program, with Tuesday and Thursday as the class days.
The question
How many Tuesdays and Thursdays does each month from November 2026 to April 2027 really have? And over a whole year, how far is "eight a month" from the true number of class days?
The answer matters for any provider that charges by the week, the term or the class day.
Version 1: assume four weeks a monthPython
# Two classes a week, Tuesday and Thursday: how many in each month?
months = ["2026-11", "2026-12", "2027-01", "2027-02", "2027-03", "2027-04"]
for month in months:
weeks = 4
print(month, weeks * 2, "classes")
It prints 8 classes for every month, from 2026-11 to 2027-04.
Tidy, and wrong for half of the months. A month has between 28 and 31 days, so it holds four or five of each weekday, never exactly four weeks. The program has replaced the calendar with an average. Python's calendar module can lay out each month week by week instead, and then we simply count.
Version 2: count the real daysPython
import calendar
months = ["2026-11", "2026-12", "2027-01", "2027-02", "2027-03", "2027-04"]
TUESDAY, THURSDAY = 1, 3
for month in months:
year, m = map(int, month.split("-"))
days = calendar.monthcalendar(year, m)
count = sum(1 for week in days for d in (week[TUESDAY], week[THURSDAY]) if d)
print(month, count, "classes")
It prints 2026-11 8 classes, 2026-12 10 classes, 2027-01 8 classes, 2027-02 8 classes, 2027-03 9 classes and 2027-04 9 classes.
Going further: a whole yearPython
total = 0
for year, m in [(2026, 11), (2026, 12)] + [(2027, k) for k in range(1, 11)]:
total += sum(1 for week in calendar.monthcalendar(year, m)
for d in (week[TUESDAY], week[THURSDAY]) if d)
print("November 2026 to October 2027:", total, "Tuesdays and Thursdays")
print("Eight a month for twelve months:", 8 * 12)
It prints November 2026 to October 2027: 104 Tuesdays and Thursdays and Eight a month for twelve months: 96.
A year has 52 weeks, not 48, so "four weeks a month" quietly loses eight class days a year. December 2026 alone has ten Tuesdays and Thursdays, though at least three of them fall inside the Christmas holidays of every Land in the holiday table below. None of this makes one pricing model right and another wrong. It means the only fair comparison is the price of one live class, worked out from the real number of classes a fee buys.
Ages 8 to 10, with a calendar. Colour every Tuesday and Thursday of December 2026 on a paper calendar. How many are there? Which ones are in the Christmas holidays where you live?
Ages 10 to 13, Python. Run Version 1, then Version 2, and write down every month where the two disagree.
Ages 13 and up. Add a list of your Land's holiday dates and count only the class days outside them. Compare the result for Bayern and for Hessen.
We wrote and ran these programs ourselves (Python 3, 3 November 2026); the counts are plain calendar arithmetic.
School holidays
What happens to coding classes during the German school holidays?
Each Land sets its own autumn, Christmas and Easter holidays; only the summer holidays are coordinated by the KMK. A provider that teaches families all over Germany cannot follow everyone's Ferien at once, so ask how classes and fees handle them.

Source: Kultusministerkonferenz, Ferien 2026/2027 (Stand 9 October 2025), read 2 November 2026: "Während die Kultusministerkonferenz die Sommerferien langfristig vereinbart, werden die übrigen Ferientermine von den Ländern selbst bestimmt." Berlin, Hamburg and several other Länder also have short winter breaks and single free days, which the full table lists.
What the table shows
On Monday 2 November 2026 pupils in Bayern begin their autumn holiday, two days after pupils in Nordrhein-Westfalen have finished theirs. Christmas ends on 1 January 2027 in Hamburg and on 12 January 2027 in Hessen.
For a weekly class this means that holiday weeks differ from family to family even inside one group, and that the number of school-free weeks in a given month depends on the Land.
What to ask any provider
Do classes continue during the Ferien? If my child misses classes for a family holiday, can they be moved, or are they lost? Is the fee the same in a month with a two-week holiday?
For our classes, tell your mentor your Land and your holiday plans when you book. One-to-one times are agreed with you, and the mentor will tell you how your group's timetable runs over the holidays before you pay.
Already free
Which coding learning is already free for a child in Germany?
Before paying anyone, it is worth knowing what school and the national competitions already give. For some children it is enough; for many it is a good way to find out whether they like coding at all.
At school
In some Länder, Informatik is now a compulsory subject. The Gesellschaft für Informatik reports that Hamburg's Stadtteilschulen and Gymnasien have taught four compulsory Informatik hours, spread over Klasse 7 to 10, since 2025/26; that Nordrhein-Westfalen teaches it in Klasse 5 and 6; and that Mecklenburg-Vorpommern gives it a weekly hour or more in each year from Klasse 5 up to Klasse 10.
In six Länder there is no Informatik that every pupil must take, according to the same 2026/27 monitor: Hessen, Berlin, Bremen, Brandenburg, Sachsen-Anhalt and Rheinland-Pfalz. There, a coding class may be a child's only regular contact with programming.
Outside school
The Informatik-Biber, Germany's largest school informatics competition, is free, according to its organiser BWINF, and runs from 9 to 20 November 2026 through participating schools, each of which names a coordinator. The hub page for coding classes in Germany lists the other contests of the year.
Free block-coding tools that run in a browser are also widely available. What free options rarely give is a person who looks at a child's code every week and knows what to teach next. That is what a paid live class should be selling.
Before you pay
What should you ask any coding provider about cost?
Seven questions that turn any price, ours included, into something you can compare. Ask them in writing and keep the answers.
How many live hours with a teacher does the fee buy? Count hours, not lessons, modules or videos.
How many learners share the teacher? A stated number, and whether one to one is offered.
Is it the same teacher every week? Continuity is part of what you pay for.
What happens in the school holidays of my Land, and when my child is ill? Are missed classes moved, lost or refunded?
Which currency is charged, and is anything added at checkout? Card and gateway charges belong in the total.
Is there anything else to buy? Kits, software, accounts, exam fees.
How do I stop, and what notice is needed? Read the written terms before the first payment.
Our answers: eight live hours a month; fifteen to twenty learners, or one to one; one regular mentor; holidays and missed classes discussed with your mentor before you pay; charged in US dollars with a 2.5 percent gateway charge shown at checkout; any paid game or software named on the course page; monthly plans, with the rules on our refund page.

Families in Germany ask
Coding class costs in Germany: common questions
How much do coding classes for kids cost in Germany?
It depends on whether the teaching is live, how many children share a teacher, how many live hours a month you get and the payment terms. Our own fee is one monthly amount for eight live one-hour classes, shown in euro on this page; we do not quote other providers' prices.
Why are your fees shown in euro but charged in US dollars?
We show euro because families in Germany think in euro, converted at the European Central Bank reference rate. Our payment system charges in US dollars, and your bank converts the charge at its own rate on the day, so the statement can differ slightly.
Is anything added at checkout?
Yes. A payment gateway charge of 2.5 percent is added to the fee and shown as its own line before you approve the payment. Your bank may also charge for a payment in US dollars; ask your bank.
What is included in the monthly fee?
Eight live one-hour classes in English, one regular mentor, placement by level, the projects and exercises used in class and written progress notes. A computer and internet connection are yours to provide, and if a course needs a paid game or program, its course page says so.
Is one to one more expensive than a group?
Yes, because the mentor's whole hour belongs to one learner. Our groups have fifteen to twenty learners placed by level; both amounts are shown in the fees section.
Are the classes in German?
No. All our classes are live and taught in English only, by mentors who match the learner's pace and accent. Many families in Germany choose them for that reason, as coding practice and English practice together.
Do classes continue during the school holidays?
Each Land has its own autumn, Christmas and Easter holidays, so tell your mentor your Land and your plans when you book. One-to-one times are agreed with you, and the mentor explains how your group runs over the holidays before you pay.
When are classes held?
Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays. Classes are agreed in German time.
Is there a free trial class?
Yes. The first class is free and needs no card. There is also an optional paid priority demo, a full-length class; if you enrol afterwards, its fee is set against your first month.
How do I compare your price with other providers?
Turn every offer into the price of one live hour with a teacher, then compare how many learners share that hour and whether the teacher stays the same. Add any checkout or card charges to the total.
