Country Day Provides Technology for Today’s Students to Excel in Tomorrow’s World

Last year, Sacramento Country Day School completed the roll-out of a Middle School iPad program which has proved successful beyond our expectations.

For the 2012-13 school year, we will extend our technological reach by purchasing two mobile iPad labs for use by our Lower School students, and introducing a pilot program in the High School to provide MacBook laptops for all incoming 9^th-grade students. We feel this expansion of our technology program will help guide our students to think critically, to reason, to develop their creative skills, and to engage in a broad array of educational experiences.

Our goal is to prepare our students to become productive contributors to the 21^st century world, to handle not only today’s technologies, but also those that are yet to be invented.
