Technology

MRA is visionary and innovative in adapting to today’s educational uses for technology beginning in K3 and continuing through graduation. It is our goal to use technology to enhance and complement instruction in a meaningful and appropriate way throughout a student's educational journey. As a leader in utilizing technology in the classroom, MRA provides individual technology for children in grades 5-12 and provides carts with Apple devices for all children in grades K3-4.

Coding, skyping, programming, creating iMovies, designing apps, publishing work, collaborating with other students and teachers--technology is transforming the way we teach and learn at MRA from preschool through graduation!

  • MRA provides all 5th grade students with an iPad Air, all 6--8 grade students with Chromebooks, and all 9--12 grade students with an Apple MacBook Air.
  • MRA will own and maintain these devices, and the internet will be filtered, maintained, and monitored by MRA.
  • These devices will be leased through the school with no separate technology fee.
  • All children in grades K3--7th will continue to attend weekly computer classes. 8th graders complete a semester long computer applications class. High school students have classes in programming, coding, and graphic design.

It is the goal of the school to use educational technologies to support students in becoming active problem solvers and creative thinkers and to provide students with constant feedback on their achievements.

The benefits of our leasing program include:

ACADEMIC FOCUS

Enabling content filtering and support for students to enhance active learning and minimize the negative effects of potential distractions

PARENTAL CONTROL

Partnering with parents to provide proper application of technology as we seek to ensure safe, appropriate, and acceptable use

COLLEGE PREP

Preparing Pre-K through 12th graders to compete in a rapidly changing world, developing technology-savvy students who are critical thinkers, collaborators, and confident communicators

TECH SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE THROUGH MRA

Providing convenient and affordable upkeep of your child’s device while continuing to keep current in this age of quickly changing technology

We are proud to build upon the strong foundation of cutting edge technology that is transforming both teaching and learning at MRA.
