Additionally, St. Augustine has a Laptop Learning Program.

The optional program is designed for students in Grades 9-11 in the core subject areas such as Mathematics, English, Religion, Geography (Grade 9), history (Grade 10), Science, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Business Studies. Students use corporate level IBM ThinkPads and have a comprehensive set of programs and software installed in them for student use. Students use the laptops as a complement to classroom teaching so that they can be introduced to 21st Century Learning and Web 2.0 skills such as blogging, social media tools, and web-based instructional strategies.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
