Technology

Instructional Technology is a valuable component of our students’ education. We balance the presence of technology in our programmes so that our students become responsible users of current digital tools to succeed in school and in their professional life.

Programme highlights

Early Years and Primary Years Programme: students participate in regular computer-based learning activities to develop their skills for the digital world. The school provides iPads for Early Years and PYP1 students to use and students in PYP2-4 use the school Chromebooks.  Students in PYP5 also participate in the “Bring your own device” programme in preparation for MYP.

Middle Years Programme: Students in grades MYP 1-4 participate in the required year-long Design Technology courses; students in MYP 5 can choose the course as an elective.All secondary students participate in a “Bring Your Own Device” initiative, where students supply their own learning device based on individual learning needs and experience. In 2013 the school launched “G Suite”. This cloud-based system allows our school community to learn, collaborate and communicate more effectively.

Benefit of technology integration in student learning

• Broadens the ability of teachers to provide more differentiated, individualised instructions to meet our students’ diverse learning needs.
• Enhances and encourages interdisciplinary curriculum planning between core subject areas and departments.
• Encourages students to become more independent learners, to explore their own interests and to develop their creativity as well as take responsibility for their education.
