Computer Lab

The Elementary School Computer Lab is always buzzing with energy. Students in grades Pre-K- 8 attend computer classes once or twice a week and enthusiastically learn how to better integrate technology into the studies and their lives.

The technology curriculum has two main goals: (1) to teach the students the necessary computer skills and programs to equip them for their future. Children learn basic keyboarding skills, computer navigation and basic programs such as Word, Excel, Power Point and others. (2) technology, whenever possible, is tightly integrated into the curriculum, thus re-enforcing and enriching concepts and skills learned in the regular classroom. Classroom teachers work closely with the technology specialist to ensure a tightly-coupled curriculum and to provide the students with solid interdisciplinary experiences.
