Technology
Our vision is that all of our students will learn to manage digital tools in powerful and ethical ways to meet their educational goals and further their understanding of the world. We don’t load up on technology for technology’s sake; we work hard to ensure that the most effective and appropriate technology tools are available to even our youngest students. As a result, our students are savvy, informed, respectful technology users.
Teaching Technology
Our inquiry-based teaching approach hinges on information literacy – knowing how to find, verify, use and cite information available in print and on the web. Computer science is integrated into the classroom, and we teach digital citizenship to our students and our parents. All of these tools are to provide our students with the resources they need to be safe, respectful and effective users of the digital world.
Technology Support
We have all the infrastructure in place to assure seamless use of all of our technology. A help desk, staffed by our IT staff, has open hours to help students with any computer problems they may encounter, whether they need a loaner or help downloading a program. Our Wi-Fi network encompasses all four of our campuses, and online portals for students, parents and faculty keep the community informed. Digital display boards donated by Cisco Systems provide fun signage in the upper school to remind students about important deadlines and events.
