Learning Digital Citizenship

Preparing Responsible Digital Citizens for a Global Community

Preschool and Lower School students learn the skills necessary to be responsible members of a digital community. Teaching students the values of respect, concern, and politeness toward others is essential. These virtues equip students with the necessary tools to navigate both online and offline worlds with balance and understanding, regardless of their age.

This intentional and purposeful approach allows students to develop the self-discipline to make safe and appropriate decisions in a digital world.

Students work with computers in their classes to enhance their regular curriculum work, develop higher-order thinking skills, and become self-confident and independent in using the computer as a learning tool.
