Online Python Classes for High School Students

Enrolling in the right skill level is pivotal. Skipping over prerequisites can leave you confused, while choosing a course too easy will waste your time and tuition dollars.

Beginner Courses

If you’re new to Python, there’s no need to fear. We’ve found 4 beginner courses, with costs ranging from $1,099 to $1,999. The top options open to beginners include:

• Python Data Science & Machine Learning Summer Program @ NextGen Bootcamp ($1,999 | 45 Hours)
• Intro to Python Coding for Machine Learning @ iD Tech ($1,099 | 1 Week)
• Python Programming @ UMass Summer Pre-College ($1,697 | 2 Weeks)
• Python Data Science & Machine Learning Summer Program Online @ NextGen Bootcamp ($1,999 | 45 Hours)

Note that beginner courses still typically assume basic proficiency with computers.

Intermediate & Advanced Courses

Already comfortable with the basics of Python and feel ready to move to an intermediate or advanced class? Consider the following courses which all require some prerequisite knowledge:

• Computer Programming 102 @ Digital Media Academy ($1,978 | 1 Week)
  
  Prerequisite: Tech Accelerator Artificial Intelligence Level 1

Live Online training is synchronous training where participants and the instructor attend remotely. Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19.

If you attend a virtual training from your home or office, you’ll need a computer with strong internet access and any relevant software installed prior to the course. Most schools provide setup instructions before the course, and some will provide direct assistance.

The instruction takes place via a teleconferencing software like Zoom, Webex, or GoToMeeting, and some schools have their own learning portals.

It’s crucial to find a course that fits your schedule. For live online Python training, we’ve found flexible scheduling options, including weekday and evening courses.

Courses with multiple scheduling options include:

• Computer Programming 102 @ Digital Media Academy ($1,978 | 1 Week) is available weekdays or evenings

Courses available weekdays only include:

• Intro to Python Coding for Machine Learning @ iD Tech ($1,099 | 1 Week)
• Python Programming @ UMass Summer Pre-College ($1,697 | 2 Weeks)
• Python Data Science & Machine Learning Summer Program @ NextGen Bootcamp ($1,999 | 45 Hours)
• Python Data Science & Machine Learning Summer Program Online @ NextGen Bootcamp ($1,999 | 45 Hours)

Due to changing schedules and uncertainty during COVID-19, we recommend that prospective students confirm course availability directly with the school.

With Python encompassing so many verticals and subtopics, it could be challenging to find what you’re looking for. We’ll help you break down the subcategories and related topics (see the Python topics section) to focus directly on one of the subcategories.

When learning Python, you can attend a course or program that dives comprehensively into Python or focuses on a particular topic, including Python Data Science, Python Programming, or Python Machine Learning.

Focus on a Specific Subtopic within Python

Within Python, you can focus your learning on a specific topic, including Python Data Science, Python Programming, Python Machine Learning, Python for Finance, and FinTech. Each one of these topics will directly enhance, supplement, or support your learning in Python. To see how each topic relates to Python and to focus your learning on any subcategory, see the subtopics section above.

For a quick overview, here are some popular classes:

• Learn Python Data Science with Python Data Science & Machine Learning Summer Program @ NextGen Bootcamp.
  The course costs $1,999.
• Learn Python Programming with Computer Programming 102 @ Digital Media Academy.
  The course costs $1,978.
