Students and teachers have daily access to technology, to use it effectively as a tool for learning and as a subject of learning. Technology is integrated throughout the day in student performance, classroom instruction, data management, and communication. Students develop proficiency in word processing, PowerPoint, video presentation, spreadsheets, Internet research and web design. A web-based student information system enables parents to check their child’s progress 24/7. All student work is maintained in a digital portfolio. The ratio of students to computers in each school is 2:1.

All students have access to the Northrop Grumman Innovation Lab, a state-of-the-art multimedia center where students are able to bring their real-world projects to life while developing the 21st century skills critical for success in college and the global workplace. The Innovation Lab is organized into centers (Research and Development, Design and Simulation, Collaboration Corner, Project Place) that follow the natural progression of a project. Typically, students conduct research to identify the nature of the problem, then brainstorm with each other to identify needed resources and start designing their solution. They run simulations to analyze their design and refine it after additional collaboration. Finally, they prepare a presentation to share the results with other students.
