Technology is a powerful tool that can unlock a world of learning possibilities. Saint James School’s 21st-century classrooms promote creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and effective communication, all while seamlessly integrating technology across every discipline and grade level. Students of all ages benefit from this approach, from our youngest learned in elementary education to our high school students preparing for college.

We don’t just use technology for the sake of using it. STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) forms the cornerstone of our curriculum, but technology’s impact extends far beyond these fields.

From interactive whiteboards (SMART Boards) to a robust fleet of devices like tablets, Apple MacBooks, and iPads, Saint James provides students with modern tools at their fingertips at no additional cost. Our 1:1 device program ensures that every student from third grade onwards has access to a dedicated device, establishing a personalized and engaging learning environment in our classrooms.

Building a Strong Foundation

Our youngest learners are not left behind. PreK3 through fifth-grade students learn valuable skills through weekly technology enrichment classes, where they develop foundational digital literacy skills in a fun and interactive setting. These sessions introduce them to essential concepts like keyboarding, navigating software applications, and responsible online behavior.

Expanding Horizons

As students progress through middle and high school, their exploration of technology deepens. We offer a wide range of electives that cater to a variety of interests and career aspirations. Students can delve into robotics, build problem-solving skills through programming, realize their creativity in graphic design, gain a comprehensive understanding of computer science, and develop essential technology competencies. These courses equip them with the skills and knowledge to be successful in a technology-driven world, preparing them for life in college and beyond.

Digital Citizenship Takes Center Stage

Forward-thinking and innovative use of technology is a priority at Saint James School; however, we recognize that responsible behavior is equally important. We are committed to cultivating a culture of Digital Citizenship, which empowers students to navigate the digital world with safety, respect, and discernment. This commitment manifests in several ways:

Digital Citizenship Curriculum

We integrate digital literacy concepts into lesson plans across all subjects, ensuring students understand the ethical implications of technology use and empowering students to be responsible and safe digital citizens in an ever-changing online world.

Teachable Moments

Middle school students and high school students alike benefit from teachers who seize opportunities throughout the day to reinforce responsible digital behavior, offering guidance and setting expectations for online interaction.

Collaboration and Communication

Technology at Saint James School isn’t just about individual learning; it’s also about collaboration and communication skills. Students use online platforms and collaborative tools to collaborate on projects, share ideas, and provide constructive feedback in a safe and supportive environment. This not only prepares them for future teamwork experiences but also strengthens their communication skills, which are essential for success in any field.

Saint James Honor Code and Required Use Policy

Respectful and responsible technology use is woven into the very fabric of our school’s community. It’s a core tenet of the Saint James Honor Code and our Required Use Policy, ensuring a safe and positive learning environment for all.

Saint James School promotes a love of learning in a dynamic and technologically advanced environment. Our private school technology program empowers students at all grade levels (elementary education, middle school, and high school) to become confident and responsible digital citizens while our rigorous academic curriculum prepares them for success in college and beyond.
