At BigByte Education, we believe there is a better way to educate the youth. A more current, skill-focused way where a student learns invaluable skills that can and will be applied in their future. We are obsessively passionate about education, and our mission is to help the next generation as best we can.

We focus mainly on providing students with comprehensive English language skills. With recent advances in technology, we know the education landscape is constantly improving and we see this as an opportunity. We're excited to provide excellent education through our courses, trips, and community. 

Our Journey

Driven by our continuous desire to help the leaders of tomorrow, BigByte has made many improvements over the past two decades. In 1996, we introduced a new reading program, giving students a chance to read and reflect every day. Then, in 1999, we organized our first international trip, sending our students to California for a six-week study course. More recently, in 2008, we were invited by the National Science Council to take part in SciFest in Finland, where top students from all over the world come to represent their country.
