iPad Program

CB’s Lasallian mission calls for innovation in ensuring that students are prepared to take their place as ethical leaders in an interdependent, diverse and rapidly changing world. Today, that means

an international, 21st century education that equips them with cultural knowledge, technology skills and integrity.Technology has become an indispensable part of who we are as a society. The use of technology enhances community by fostering communication among faculty, parents, students, and staff. Technology at CBHS supplements traditional classroom instruction to better serve our learners.

As an important aspect of our curriculum, technology facilitates learning, enhances relevance, helps individualize instruction, and inspires active, constructivist, learner-centered teaching. By facilitating necessary skills including collaboration, problem solving, and creativity, the Christian Brothers community utilizes technology to enhance instruction, promote life-long thinking, learning, and communication skills necessary for success in a global community.

The following tasks should be completed prior to the start of the school year after you have purchased your student’s iPad. Parents, you are welcome and encouraged to delegate these responsibilities to your student(s).
