Technology

Technology in Classrooms

Technology integration is an important aspect of The Summit curriculum.  For years, we have successfully implemented one-to-one computing for students in grades 1st through 12th. Technology is one aspect of our curriculum, and the use of student laptops is an important tool. Typically in Lower School, students use computers each morning and afternoon for various stations. In Upper School, students use computers throughout the day depending on their class schedules.

Students will use Google Docs, a variety of websites, and have access to many online subscriptions such as Raz-Kids (an online reading program) and IXL (an online math program).
