Technology

MDA approaches technology in the classroom with intention, applying a discerning process to choose the tools and programs we incorporate to ensure that all learning needs are considered.
We believe that technology can foster creativity and a broadened sense of exploration, while instilling a sense of responsibility and shaping the way students learn. 

MDA's faculty draw from technology as an essential instructional tool, supplementing traditional teacher-led instruction with online learning to give students a multifaceted educational experience that equips them with the tools to meet and exceed grade-level content.

Technology in the Classroom
Within each classroom, students utilize 1:1 iPads. Additionally, teachers employ Apple TVs, Epson projectors, and document cameras to support all learners.
