We embrace and integrate technology.
- Students participate in computer class once a week in our 32-station lab.
- A second computer lab, consisting of 30 laptops, can be used by teachers for class lessons outside of computer lab time.
- ACTIVboards (interactive white boards) are revolutionizing the learning process, building on students' love of technology, color, and interactivity. ACTIVboards are used in grades 2 through 8
and Music Class.
We have multiple resources to enhance a student’s learning.

- Our MIT (Minds In Training) program pairs participating students in the lower grades with a higher-grade student for tutoring - a partnership that benefits both children!
