iPad Purchasing FAQ

1. Why are iPad Minis not recommended?

The screen size of an iPad Mini is too small for most students to do necessary in class-related work. In addition, many iPad Minis are more expensive in comparison to the standard iPad model.

2. Should the iPad come with 3G/4G?

It is strongly recommended that iPads do not come with a 3G/4G sim unit unless the sim card has been removed from the iPad. Students using this 3G/4G option will be able to access unfiltered Internet while at school.

3. What type of accessories are recommended?

Accessories such as an Apple Pen (stylus) or keyboard are optional. Accessories are not covered under the insurance premium that the school provides.
