I had learned Python with Grok Learning in my last year of highschool. Then I paid for the membership myself with the same school account they left open for another 2 years. This program is awesome for schools. Https://groklearning.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
Coding Dojo has some pretty great and affordable financing options which would be what I most likely opt for.

This ! Learning to code will come after, spending time with your son writing down ideas might be more fun at first and it's a good time to teach him that games are thoughts first and then coded after. I would have recommended Scratch [1] for a first introduction instead of hoping into code right away, but since he is 9yo he will most likely want to hop on big game engine like he sees his favorite youtubers doing.... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
