Core Classes

Our core classes are comprised of 12 progressive courses that allow students to go from coding with KTBlocks in Java, Python or C++ by using a drag and drop style, to writing code all on their own from scratch. These classes are the foundation of our curriculum and provide students the ability to excel in our elective courses.

Beginner Core Classes

Elementary and Middle School

KTBYTE offers Levels 1 and 2 with courses that are progressive and designed for students ages 8-11. Students write code using KTBlocks, a block-based programming that doesn't require them to type. KTBlocks offers the same style and complexity of Java, Python, or C++ and helps young learners better retain theoretical knowledge.

KTBlocks Creation Week-long Course

Intermediate Core Classes

Middle and High School

KTBYTE offers Level 3 and 4 courses that are progressive and designed for students age 11-15. Classes in this level are faster paced than the courses at previous levels, with assignments that can take up to an hour to complete. Students will be able to apply conceptual understanding in actual applications and write open-ended responses as answers to problems.

Advanced Core Classes

College

KTBYTE offers Level 5 and 6 courses with curriculum that encompasses not only Advanced Placement (AP) level material, but also more challenging and complex concepts. The expected workload and challenge which these courses present is equivalent to 100-level college courses. Most students average between age 13-18, but we have had students as young as 10 complete [CORE 6a] and [CORE 6b].

Algorithms and Problem Solving in Java
Object Oriented Programming in Java
Python Level 3
Intermediate Algorithms
Applied Data Structures

Most graduates of BYTE Level 6 opt to take our elective class to prepare for the AP exam in Computer Science
