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 9th-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 21st century world, to handle not only today’s technologies, but also those that are yet to be invented.
Country Day Middle School Students Powered by iPad

The school’s innovative iPad program, initiated in 2010, provides all Middle School students with a school-owned iPad to use for their three years of Middle School. According to headmaster, Stephen Repsher, “This tablet technology runs thousands of educational applications and more applications are being released every day. It’s a powerful, paperless educational tool that has made learning more exciting and effective.”
