Program Description 

At HIS we strive to develop in students the ability to use technology to gather information, to process information into knowledge, and to effectively communicate knowledge to the appropriate audience. To make this happen, Information Technology is integrated across the curriculum.

In the Elementary School, classes from Kindergarten through Grade 5 learn a comprehensive and dynamic set of technology skills during scheduled lessons in well-equipped computer lab. These skills are taught through activities that support PYP Units of Inquiry and are designed in collaboration with the classroom teacher. In this way we ensure that students learn the I.T. skills in context of their classroom learning and that their learning is enriched through the appropriate use of information technology. 

In addition to the scheduled times, teachers can sign out the lab to bring in their entire class for research sessions and/or to work on integrated projects.
