Technology

Pingree School believes that technology is not intended to replace, but rather to supplement, support, and reinforce, our teaching methods.

In order to compete, thrive, and excel in this increasingly technological world, Pingree is committed to helping students develop proficiency in digital and informational literacy through the integration of these technological tools in their everyday learning experiences and curriculum.

X:1 Initiative

Pingree’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program X:1 allows students to choose their own digital device that meets our requirements to school every day, demonstrating our belief that an academic program should not be built around a single device or platform. This decision supports teachers in making choices about programs that best serve their curriculum while allowing students to bring devices to school that they are familiar and comfortable with and that have their own customized software, settings, and files.

We are confident that X:1 will allow us to remain nimble in adapting to new technologies while providing ultimate flexibility to teachers and families.
