Technology

We believe that the development of technological literacy is as important as any other academic discipline, and like other media, can be used as an effective means to further Christian formation. It is our goal to make our students and staff comfortable with technology and the ever-changing developments in this field. It is also our belief that technology is only one of the many learning tools that our students need to gain knowledge and skills to apply to everyday life both now and in the future. Also, we believe that it is one of many learning tools to help develop and express each individual’s God given gifts as expressed in the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Further, we believe that while the development of specific technological skills is essential, it is the integration and application of those skills in daily life that is most important.
