授業でのICT活用
We are a Microsoft Windows school with two technology labs and additional laptop computers for borrowing through our library media center and class sets on carts for use in Elementary School classrooms. Students from Grades 9 through 12 are required to bring their own Windows-based laptop computer each day.
The ways in which technology is used in the classroom are determined by individual teachers. All teachers manage a page for students through our Learning Management System. We believe that being a global citizen requires knowledge and skills in the use of technology; however, the ability to function independently and act promptly in the real world also requires core knowledge and skills independent of technology.

オンライン授業への対応（休校時など）
When school closures take place, as for during the pandemic closure in 2020, our students studied remotely, online using our school Learning Management System. As such, instructional time was preserved and our students were able to keep caught up with the planned curricular learning activities. In the event of future emergencies, a similar system would be utilized.
We provide a challenging, academic curriculum for all students. We believe that all of our students can perform highly and we set expectations for performance accordingly. In our Secondary School, for mathematics, our students are streamed into an extended and standard stream, with the majority of our students in the extended stream during middle school.
As such, our school culture is very academic and students are motivated to meet their full potential. In addition, teachers provide differentiated experiences for students and we have various club activities that promote learning.
