All Lower School students receive instruction becoming computer literate by learning to use age-appropriate software.

In the primary grades, the emphasis is on using interactive software to reinforce math, language arts and social study skills. Students are also introduced to painting and word processing programs. Beginning in fourth grade, students receive instruction in keyboarding.

Third, fourth and fifth grade students broaden their use of productivity tools software to publish their writing, conduct research, construct spreadsheets and graphs, and to develop multimedia presentations.

Access to the Internet enables our students to communicate with experts and other students around the world, to participate in and contribute to scientific research projects, and to access educational resources.

The Lower School Computer Lab is on the first floor of the Community Resource Center. The lab has eighteen e-Macs and two Mac G4's. There is an LCD projector, a scanner and a color laser printer. Four digital cameras are available to the lower School students and faculty.
