To compare schools, use the price per class rather than the monthly fee; we explain it in how much coding courses for kids cost.
If you want to start without spending, Chile's Ministry of Education has promoted the National Digital Languages Plan since 2019, and free workshops for school students have opened under it. Places are limited and open by season.
