Christian Academy School System | English Station Campus | Technology 

By the time today’s first graders graduate from college, they will be hired into jobs that haven’t been invented yet, due in part to rapid advances in technology and innovation. Given this reality, our technology focus at Christian Academy is not on a particular device; rather, it is on using technology as a tool to make teaching and learning more engaging, efficient, and effective. In short, we use technology to help “develop leaders (world-changers) who can create, communicate, and collaborate with a global audience for a God-given purpose.”

Currently, we use SMART Boards, iPads, document cameras, laptops/netbooks, digital projectors, and much more as part of the learning process.
