Elementary Technology Integration
Our students in Kindergarten through fourth grade engage in a fully integrated 1:1 learning environment with Apple iPads. With these devices, students learn digital literacy skills, how to be responsible digital citizens, and also how to use multiple tools for self-expression and creativity.
Middle School Integration
Our students in fifth- through eighth grade engage in a fully integrated 1:1 learning environment with 5 & 6 on Apple iPads and 7 & 8 on Microsoft Surfaces. With these devices, students learn to navigate and utilize Canvas, our learning management system, develop executive functioning skills, collaborate and share work, as well as continue to learn how to be a respectful and responsible digital citizen.
High School Integration
Our students in ninth through twelfth grade participate in a BYOD program. With the devices that students bring from home, they utilize Canvas to collaborate and share work, think deeply, and engage in the critical and high-level thinking skills expected of a Greeley student.
INNOVATION
The Chappaqua School Community has always prided itself on our passion for learning. As research on education, learning, brain development, and pedagogy advances, we must continually grow and change. We believe that innovative educational practices encourage greatness from our faculty and students. A culture of innovation encourages risk-taking, perseverance, inquiry, reflection, and growth, which are traits and characteristics of the lifelong learners we hope to cultivate within our school community.
