Educational Technology

At Seven Hills, technology is more than just a tool—it’s a meaningful part of how students learn, research, create, connect, and share. Thoughtfully integrated across our K-8 program, educational technology supports everything from hands-on exploration to in-depth inquiry and self-expression.

Whether capturing a moment of wonder or presenting a well-crafted argument, students use technology to ask bold questions, amplify their voices, and engage with the world around them—always with purpose and balance.

Early Childhood

Technology is integrated to support children's questions, amplify their ideas, and extend the learning that begins with real-world experiences. When a Rainbow or Red Barn child discovers a slug on the playground, the class might use digital tools to investigate together—deepening their understanding through images, videos, and shared inquiry. Children may also explore light and shadow using projectors or film monster trucks in slow motion on iPads to better understand movement as they design and build their own arenas.
Kindergarten-1st grade

Students begin to document their world—snapping photos of shapes, solids, and liquids around campus, and recording their own voices telling stories. They explore age-appropriate online resources and proudly share their discoveries with classmates.
2nd–3rd Grade

Students gain greater independence and begin choosing the best tool for the task—sometimes it’s a classroom iPad, other times it’s pencil and paper. Technology is used thoughtfully and purposefully to support each student’s unique learning style.
4th–5th Grade

With individual school-issued devices, students dive deeper into digital literacy and responsibility. They learn how to evaluate sources, build a positive digital footprint, and develop healthy screen habits.
6th-8th Grade

In Middle School, technology becomes a daily companion, supporting collaboration, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving across a range of platforms and tools. With school-issued laptops and tablets, students select the tools that best fit their needs—and learn when it’s time to unplug. Ongoing conversations about digital wellness, time management, and personal accountability help prepare them for the transition to high school.
