Saint Mary School in its’ commitment to fostering a culture of educational excellence through innovative and rigorous curriculum standards, is using the latest technology towards the education of their students.

The SmartTable is a collaborative learning center designed to motivate young learners to grow both socially and academically through learning and play. It has the capability for up to 8 children to learn together simultaneously, is durable, and has collaborative software that support learning goals and extends lessons (including 3D) beyond the whole-class experience!

In addition to the new SmartTable, children in K and 1 classes are instructed with and use Smart Boards; students in grades 5 through 8 have their own laptops, and students in grades 3 and 4 all have their own iPads. Additionally, there is a state-of-the art computer lab, a cart of ten additional iPads for general use, and encouragement of independent study.
