Upper School students receive instruction in information technology and computer use. Technology retains its supplemental role during Upper School. Building on knowledge gained in Middle School (particularly in the fields of word processing, spreadsheet use and presentation software applications), students learn to use technology to present information. Instruction includes programming and the use of hardware and peripherals (i.e., digital cameras, scanners). Finally, students develop the ability to collect information using academic databases. These skills enable them to confidently pursue independent academic projects.
