Gilmour Academy's technology initiative, LancerTech, is our campus-wide effort to empower our students and faculty. We're determined to make our STEM opportunities second-to-none and to keep our classrooms equipped with the lastest, 最吸引人的工具.
一对一的
While many lessons are best served without the use of an Internet-connected device, we understand how to leverage personal computers to provide impactful instruction. We make sure all our teachers have ready access to a one-to-one ratio between students and devices if their lesson calls for it. We provide iPads (grades 1-2) and laptops (grades 3-6) to students in the 较低的学校. Middle and 上学校 students bring their own devices to class. Faculty are provided a Mac or PC of their choice as well as personal training sessions so they're comfortable applying their content expertise over new mediums.
