Grades 1-2: Students share iPads in a 1:2 ratio, primarily utilizing them for math applications and digital library research. This setup introduces collaborative digital literacy in an early learning environment.
Grade 3-5: Students receive personal 1:1 iPads to enhance their independent learning across the curriculum. The devices are regularly used for math applications, targeted research, and various interactive educational activities.

Apple TV and TV Monitor

Each classroom is equipped with an Apple TV and Monitor TV, essential tools for instant sharing of multimedial content, learning material and presentations. Thanks to this technology, teachers can show videos, interactive documents and learning resources directly from their own device, making classes more dynamic and engaging. Students can also share their digital works in real time, presenting projects or collaborating with classmates on group activities.

MacBook Program:
