Educational Technology
At Edison Private School we make use of technology to ensure that the learning experience is an active one. Our curriculum is focused on keeping students engaged and interested in creation and discovery. Educational technology is central to the fulfillment of our academic program.
Beginning in sixth grade, all students begin to explore the basics of robotics and computer programming. Laptops and iPads are available for use throughout the campus, allowing students to access research, educational software, and applications to collaborate and appropriately submit work.
Interactive and adaptive teaching tools such as iReady, Achieve 3000, and Khan Academy help students personalize their learning to ensure they strengthen knowledge where it is most needed.
Teachers and students have access to whatever technology helps them think and learn, but Edison Private School does not emphasize technology trends over tradition. We are proud of how our teachers and students explore the use of new technologies that allow them to access information and connect to create new tools that help a 50+-year-old pedagogy of inquiry prevail.
