Technology Curriculum
Our computer curriculum is set up to enhance work done in the classroom through close collaboration between each grade level teacher and our computer specialist. Our younger scholars begin with keyboarding and other concepts to build a strong foundation. As they grow added programs such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel and more will help with skills from coding to math and language arts.
Using Google, Microsoft, and Apple products, our students are taught through both platforms with Apple Education and Google for Education giving our students a well-rounded technological education.
Online programs include Starfall, Seesaw, Khan Academy Kids, IXL (Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies), Mystery Science, Generation Genius (Math & Science), ReadWorks, Journeys (Language Arts), and Sadlier (Vocabulary).
