Technology/Laptops
Episcopal High School has a long history as a 1:1 laptop school, and in the last few years we transformed our campus to a bring-your-own-laptop environment. This shift was met with great enthusiasm and it is our belief that when students have the opportunity to choose their own laptop, they are more comfortable using their technology, allowing them to focus on actual learning in the classroom.
As technology evolves, so does the way in which we teach and students learn. Several years ago, we implemented an iPad program in the science department geared toward the freshman class. This program has expanded, as all members of the EHS community are now currently outfitted with an iPad and accessories, allowing for greater flexibility in the classroom. By providing each student and teacher with a school-issued iPad for coursework, we have discovered new ways to creatively collaborate and communicate with one another while strengthening critical thinking skills.
In addition to the iPad, we recognize that every student is a unique learner and will require a laptop in order to compose and publish content that may be required in the classroom. Though we no longer offer specific devices through the school, we do ask that all laptops meet a minimum specification standard. Whether you choose an Apple or Windows product, it is highly recommended that the computer have a minimum of 16GB of Memory and a minimum 256GB Hard Drive. All Apple MacBook devices should be running macOS, 14 Sonoma and all Windows computers should be running Windows 11.
