At SAIS, we embrace the power of technology to transform education and enrich learning experiences for all students. Our commitment to integrating technology into instruction is evident from the earliest grades through middle school, ensuring that every student has access to the tools they need to succeed in today’s digital world.
From grade 5 and above, each student is equipped with a personal MacBook, providing them with unparalleled access to a wide range of educational resources and tools. This one-on-one device program fosters individuality and allows students to work at their own pace, explore their interests, and collaborate with peers and teachers seamlessly.
For students in grades 4 and below, we offer shared MacBooks and iPads from a rolling cart, ensuring that even our youngest learners have the opportunity to engage with technology and develop essential digital literacy skills. Our shared device program encourages collaboration, promotes sharing, and helps build a sense of community within the classroom.
Beyond mere access to devices, we leverage technology to create dynamic and engaging learning environments. Project-based learning activities and inquiry-based assignments incorporate technology in meaningful ways, challenging students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world problems. These innovative teaching methods foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities, preparing students for future success.
In addition to our integrated technology use in core instruction, we provide specialized ICT classes for middle school students and basic technology classes for primary school students. Our ICT classes introduce students to advanced concepts and applications in information and communication technology, while our basic technology classes focus on fundamental skills such as typing and computer usage. These classes not only build a strong foundation in technology but also inspire students to explore their passions and discover new interests.
At SAIS, technology is not just a tool but a catalyst for learning. It opens doors to endless possibilities and empowers students to reach their full potential. We are proud to offer a technology-rich education that prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
