//Technology Education at WCS! //

At the primary level, Technology Education lays a foundation for lifelong learning. Student learning is enhanced when computer skills are integrated into the Pre-Kindergarten-5th curricula. WCS provides updated hardware and software programs supported by the business world for real-world applications, allowing students to learn to use technology efficiently and effectively.

Over time, students are able to flexibly apply these new proficiencies in age-appropriate, creative ways that reflect good values, are purposeful, competent and pleasing to God.

Currently, the student computer lab houses 26 MAC computers, two shared printers, a scanner, a Brightlink Interactive Whiteboard, and a sound amplification system. Each student is provided with personal headphones.
