Why Apple?
Why Apple?
Today's computer market offers a rich set of choices that meet a wide variety of individual needs. After careful analysis that evaluated different computer and tablet models, student needs, effective learning environments, and successful 1-to-1 programs, it was clear Apple was the best choice to meet our student's needs. Apple laptops and iPads hold up to the rigors of daily use, while being accessible for novice users and powerful enough for advanced users. For the iPad program, Apple's App Store has the largest available selection of high quality education apps on the market.
Apple devices are well built, and hold up to the level-of-use our students put them through. Operating System (OS) updates are easy to perform, ensuring your child's device has the latest security updates which protect them as they use their laptop or tablet. Airplay, allows teachers and students the ability to share resources on the fly in the classroom.
Student Apple Account & Family Sharing
Student Apple Account & Family Sharing
All students need to have an Apple account for their laptop or iPad. This allows them to install approved programs and update existing software on their laptop.
Your child can use either a Family iTunes account you have shared with your child, or you can create an Apple Family Sharing account.
We recommend using an Apple Family Sharing account. This allows you, the parent, the ability to manage and approve the software your child wants to install on their laptop.
