The 1-to-1 iPad program is an exciting program that enhances and complements the Primary School curriculum. The iPad program is aligned with the school’s Mission, Vision, and Values, our STEM initiatives, and curriculum designed to prepare our students for future excellence.

Educational technology in the classroom facilitates and enhances a range of learning opportunities that are more personalized and authentic for all students. The iPad program has been designed to realize this by providing students a personalized learning experience and tool that encourages students to extend their learning by giving them access to an extensive range of tools and resources they can use, right at their fingertips.

This page contains important information for all families entering the 1-to-1 iPad Program, whether you have your own iPad already, or need to purchase one for your child through the 1-to-1 Purchase Program. Please check back periodically for updates.
