Alongside our one-to-one program, our technology department supports student learning with a blend of Cloud-based technologies as well as traditional on-site technologies. This includes large format and 3D printers, and dynamic classrooms equipped with high resolution projectors, Apple TVs for a fully wireless environment, and iPads for a fully mobile teaching and learning environment.
An updated wireless digital language lab offers students in every classroom a multimedia-based learning environment for independent or collaborative activities to develop language proficiency. Students in our physical science classes use interactive data recorders and computers to analyze data in real time. Middle school mathematics courses feature a dynamic e-book which provide instantaneous feedback to assignments and embedded videos to support immediate remediation. As technology evolves, Notre Dame teachers are constantly adjusting their curriculum to maximize learning while simultaneously embracing the importance of healthy digital citizenship.
Because of its innovative uses of technology throughout the school and our leadership in the field, the Academy of Notre Dame has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for 2021-2024.
