All Lower School students are provided a Chromebook or tablet in Kindergarten through Grade 5. A Lower School Technology Integrationist works with classroom teachers and students to use technology as a tool in the class’ subject area explorations.
NGSS engineering standards are taught by our robotics specialist. A project based learning approach is used to foster inquiry and collaboration. This ensures a consistent and engaging program through lower school.
