What coding classes actually cost in Singapore

Almost every guide to coding classes in Singapore quotes prices. Very few say where the numbers came from, and a lot of them are years out of date. So rather than repeat figures, we went to each school's own site and looked.

What we found

Of the 22 schools listed here, 3 publish a fee you can read without contacting them. The other 19 ask you to enquire. We checked on 4 August 2026.

That is worth knowing before you start ringing round. If you want to compare four schools on price, expect to have four separate conversations, and expect the numbers to arrive in different shapes: per month from one, per term from another, per course from a third.

The schools that publish a price

Quoted as each school states it, with the date we last checked the page. Confirm before you pay, because these pages change quietly.

What that works out at per hour

Two of those figures come with enough detail to turn into an hourly rate, which is the only way to compare a monthly fee against a per-course one.

• Roboto states S$285 a month for four lessons, and its lessons run an hour and a half. That is six hours a month, so about S$48 an hour. The 24-lesson semester at S$1,625 works out slightly lower, about S$45 an hour, plus a one-off S$50 registration.
• Coding Lab states S$395 to S$845 for a course of 10 to 20 hours. If the shortest course is the cheapest and the longest the dearest, that is about S$40 an hour at the short end and S$42 at the long end. We are assuming that pairing, because the page does not spell it out, and a different pairing would change the figure a lot.
• Mind Theory lists camps at S$550 to S$680 per person, but does not publish how many hours a camp runs, so there is no honest way to convert it.

So where the maths is possible, the published rates land in the region of S$40 to S$48 an hour. Three schools is a small sample and we would not present it as a market average. It is a reference point for judging the next quote you are given.

Why so few publish, and why that is not sinister

It is tempting to read a missing price as a bad sign. Usually it is not. Fees genuinely vary by centre, by age, by class size and by term length, and a single number on a website would be wrong for most enquirers. Some schools also run franchised branches that set their own rates.

It does have a real cost for you though. It makes casual comparison impossible, which means most parents compare two schools rather than six, and often pick on convenience rather than value.

The questions that make quotes comparable

You can get to a like-for-like comparison in one message per school. These are the six that matter.

A fair warning about cheap and expensive

Price tells you very little about teaching on its own. A large class at a low hourly rate can be poor value, and a small group at a high one can be excellent. The thing that decides whether the money was well spent is whether your child is still interested in three months, and that is mostly about the teacher and the pace.

Use price to rule out what you cannot afford, then decide on everything else.

What we will not do

We do not publish a price a school has not published itself, and we do not estimate. If a figure is not on the school's own page when we check, this site says the fee is not publicly listed rather than carrying a number that has quietly gone out of date. Every listing shows the date its fee was last checked, so you can see how fresh it is.
