Technology in education
Academy’s investment in technology can be seen across campus and is facilitated by our technology department. Set up like an actual help desk, members of our tech team are available to assist students, faculty and staff with hardware, software and connectivity. The department also helps students pursue technology initiatives relating to projects and ideas for use on campus.
Expanding the classroom — and children’s minds
Another way Academy uses technology is the “synchronous” classroom. This is when online learning enables children to go virtually anywhere in the world and “synchronize” their learning with experts in a subject. For example, when the Lower School does their unit on birds, they have “face time” with a noted ornithologist. While discussing foreign policy, Upper Schoolers have discussions with experts in diplomacy. Learning from astronauts, climatologists, actors and musicians or virtually touring famous cities or diving into the center of the earth—anything is possible with online learning.
