Our goal is to have a rich curriculum, that uses technology tools to best advantage. Supporting students in developing advanced skills and deep knowledge.
To this end, technology is used purposefully in our classrooms to enhance the educational experience and to engage students in learning. Students use technology for research, analysis, and communication. We work with students to develop strong online research skills, to create great presentations, and to be able to analyze new information effectively.
We have a computer lab in our middle school and middle school students may choose to bring a laptop to school but are not required to do so. Middle school students also take Information Literacy classes, which are designed to teach students how to conduct research using the various technologies available to them. Students learn how to use online databases, how to conduct quality searches on the internet, how to evaluate the quality of internet-based information, and much more.
Our upper school students are required to use tablet PCs. We are one of four sites in country chosen to pilot putting text books on flash memory.
Technology does not determine what we teach only how we teach it.
