At Hackley School the curriculum employs technology to provide resources, to access information, and to teach critical thinking skills in support of the School’s mission. Technology is not an end in itself, but rather a means to enrich the academic experience at the school by providing tools for research, information management, and presentation of materials for the classroom.

On our fully wired campus with computers in many classrooms, faculty and students have school wide, ready access to the Internet and Hackley network. Faculty participate in a laptop professional development program and students use computers in our cutting edge computer labs, individual library laptop sign out, and wireless laptop group exercises in traditional classrooms. Moving beyond just Computer Science, the Upper School Computer curriculum now includes Computer Applications and Electronic Publications for both the Web and print media. Every academic area now engages the use of technology from guided Internet research to formal application use such as Geomoter’s Sketchpad in mathematics, Rossetta Stone in Foreign Languages, and computer based measurements in Physic’s labs.
