Technology

We are committed to helping our students build the skills necessary for the future by

providing a variety of hardware and software resources and
teaching them to analyze and evaluate the information they find on the internet to determine its value as a source.

As young children’s brains are developing, their growth, development, and learning are enhanced when they interact with the world around them. At Saint Thomas More, our Pre-K program uses play-based learning. We take the unplugged approach with our preschoolers so they can spend time learning, imagining, and playing to develop their social, emotional, and academic foundation.
