A decade of bringing success via long-term computing education

Cutting edge curriculum and teaching tools, with expert instructors giving personalized live instruction in small groups.

Curriculum

Our courses are designed to get young students excited about programming with graphics and games. As students progress, they work towards specific goals ranging from Artificial Intelligence to competitive programming.

Integrated Classroom

Our proprietary web conference classroom means students don't need to install or juggle multiple programs, and code directly in their web browser. Automatically graded homework means students get report card updates the moment they try a problem.

Accomplished Instructors

Our instructors are students and graduates of STEM programs at top-ranking universities. Some are KTBYTE alumni, while others have industry experience at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook.

Customizable Goals

Our team works with you and your child to choose goals and set the right pacing. Choose one of four tracks to get started, then pick from a list of personalized recommendations after completing each course.

Students ages 8-10 have blossoming tech literacy that can easily be honed towards tech excellence. We deliver high caliber knowledge that keeps pace with growth in language, typing, logical reasoning, and maturity

For our 11-13 year old students, exceeding school computer science standards is all but guaranteed. Students at this level comfortably start relinquishing programming training wheels.

Accolades and exams in computer science are accessible. We help balance practice with your busy school schedule

Features

Live weekly meetings

Classes typically meet once a week for one hour in a live small group setting. Optionally, students can attend homework help meetings throughout the week to get individual hands-on assistance at no additional cost.

Homework and Progress Reports

Students do an average of 15 minutes to 90 minutes of homework per week, depending on their age and course level. Students get instant feedback while working on homework, and parents can check grades as problems are completed.

Explore Achievement Pathways

National competitions are accessible to students of all ages if they choose to do extra practice. New students may benefit from trying competitions without expectations of solving any problems. Students have opportunities to participate in research and self-directed projects.

Mandarin Bilingual Option

Although most classes are taught in English only, we offer select times for Mandarin-speaking students to learn with a bilingual instructor. These courses can be scheduled for either US or China timezones.
