KM 101 Spring 2026 Cohort (Grades 3–5)
[DATES TBD]
6-week in-person (Montclair, NJ) beginner creative coding + hands-on building program for Grades 3–5. Small class size. Tiered pricing options available.
⭐ Why Are There Many Tuition Options?
Kinetic Minds is built on a simple belief: every child deserves access to creative technology education, regardless of their family’s financial situation. Our tiered tuition model helps us stay sustainable and inclusive, while keeping our class sizes small and our programming high-quality.
Instead of raising prices across the board, we offer two options and trust families to choose the one that fits them best — no applications, no documentation, no questions asked.
Sustainable Tuition — $325
This option reflects the true cost of running our program. It helps cover:
- Fair pay for our instructors and assistants
- Classroom rental
- Technology and equipment upkeep
- Craft materials, supplies, and curriculum development
- Laptops, cases, and maintenance
- Liability insurance and required permits
- Administrative time that keeps Kinetic Minds running
If your family can comfortably choose this option, it allows us to continue offering scholarships and reduced rates to families who need it.
Reduced Tuition — $250
This option is for families who would benefit from a lower cost.
It covers most of the program expenses and helps keep Kinetic Minds accessible to more children in our community.
If choosing this tier makes participation possible for your child, please feel free to select it. We’re proud to offer it.
Scholarship Seats
We reserve a small number of full scholarships in every cohort for children who may not otherwise have access to technology education.
How Tiered Tuition Works
- Families choose the tuition option that feels right for them
- Every child receives the same program, materials, laptops, instruction, and support
- Sustainable Tuition directly funds Reduced Tuition + scholarship seats
- This model allows us to stay community-first and keep our doors open long-term
Kinetic Minds would not exist without this model — and without the families who believe in it.
Thank you for helping us make creative tech education accessible, sustainable, and joyful for Montclair kids. 💛
