• Technology

  We thoughtfully integrate new technologies into the classroom—whether it be the SMARTBoard, the iPad, 3-D printers, or the next evolution—to enable us as educators to reflect upon how we teach. We consider issues that include the following: What is the best way to present this material? What method is the most effective and engaging to maximize student learning? How are we preparing our students to live and function in the 21st century?
  
  Instructional delivery—how we teach—will change over the next decade, thanks to technology. Carlthorp School is committed to providing the resources and creating a work environment that empowers our outstanding educators to be innovative when it comes to their instructional delivery, especially as it relates to technology in the classroom. The school has a nearly eight decade tradition that has helped to craft and develop a solid academic curriculum. Thanks to that foundation, the school has the ability to be “cutting edge” and “innovative” in how best to teach its students.

• Social Media Education

  In partnership with the Social Institute, we work with our students to foster responsible social media habits.  Our 5th and 6th Grade students are taught positive ways to handle social media and technology.  By reinforcing character strengths like empathy, integrity, and teamwork, and by teaching students to be their best selves on all platforms, students are provided with the tools to "win the game of social media."
