Technology
At Batt Private School, we strive to ensure that our students have access to the latest technology available. Students use the computer to assist their work in class. In addition to the fully featured computer lab, each classroom has one or more computers. Every class has multiple scheduled lab times each week and each student is assigned his or her own computer which will be used by that student throughout the year.
The Upper and Lower Schools also have wireless Internet throughout, which can be accessed via a student's laptop, or handheld device. Wireless Internet traffic and inner-classroom computer use is monitored to ensure a safe and secure environment.
