Technology
Sacred Heart Academy students and faculty make extensive use of technology as we continue to build on a strong tradition of innovation and hands-on learning. Our dedicated technology team partners closely with faculty and students ensuring that technology is integrated into teaching and learning across the curriculum. Some distinctive features of our technology program include:
One-to-one laptop initiative
Sacred Heart Academy's one-to-one laptop initiative ensures that every student has a 2-in-1 touchscreen device for use at home and at school. This extends learning, communication, and collaboration beyond the four walls of the classroom while increasing productivity.
Digital Equity
The provision of devices, software, on-site tech support and hardware warranty are all included in tuition. We believe this promotes digital equity and also takes the pressure off students having to purchase, maintain and bring their own device to school.
Microsoft 365
With a fully equipped Windows 10 device and Microsoft’s leading software products, students are able to gain valuable experience with the most widely used operating system in the world. Microsoft Teams is a hub for collaboration and shared learning.
eInstruction
Every classroom at SHA is equipped with a 65" smart tv. Many classrooms also contain Promethean Interactive Displays, and teachers have access to eInstruction Classroom Performance System instruction modules.
Innovation
Our Biotech lab is fitted with cutting-edge technology, including an automated DNA sequencer, PCR machines and UV Spectrophotometer. Math, science, and computer courses integrate technology through the development of computer programs, design of Web sites, and the use of educational software, graphing calculators, and state-of-the-art laboratory equipment.
Media Production Center
A fully equipped center used for production of a daily morning show, Good Morning SHAmerica, enables students to learn the complexities of television studio production. Students are instructed in the use of the video camera and audio equipment, in editing oral presentations, lighting, scripting and directing techniques.
Bloomberg Finance Lab
Our Finance lab features four Bloomberg Terminals which connect our students to financial data, news, and analytics delivered in real-time. This technology enables us to bring the real world into the classroom as our students learn by using the same platform utilized by financial experts and gain a deep understanding of companies, industries, and financial markets.
