At St. Margaret of Scotland, we understand that while books, paper, and pencils are fundamental to learning, we also recognize the pivotal role of technology in today's dynamic educational landscape. That's why we offer our students the best of both worlds—a harmonious blend of traditional learning methods and cutting-edge technology.
Fusion of Tradition and Technology
Our curriculum is meticulously crafted to align with the esteemed Common Core Standards, ensuring a robust educational foundation for our students. Leveraging the power of technology, we are equipped with two state-of-the-art computer labs, seamlessly integrating digital tools into our teaching methodology.
Blending Tradition with Innovation
Our innovative blended learning program seamlessly merges traditional classroom techniques with modern technology, fostering an environment where every student can thrive. By individualizing learning experiences, students are empowered to progress at their own pace and according to their unique abilities.
Far from replacing traditional teaching methods, technology serves as a complementary enhancement. Our dedicated teachers leverage digital resources to provide personalized attention, offering one-on-one support or facilitating small group activities while students engage with technology to reinforce their skills.
Embracing the Best of Both Worlds
Step into our school, and you'll discover a wealth of technological resources at your fingertips. From a cutting-edge computer lab boasting 32 workstations to mobile technology carts equipped with iPads and ChromeBooks on each floor, we ensure seamless access to digital tools throughout our campus.
But that's not all. Thanks to a generous grant from ComEd, our school proudly houses an innovation lab—an exciting space where creativity knows no bounds. Here, students are encouraged to unleash their imaginations, whether through brainstorming sessions, design projects, or hands-on construction using an array of media, from paper flip charts to LEGO sets. With features like dry erase tables and a green screen, the possibilities are endless.
Honoring the Timeless and the Trendsetting
In addition to our state-of-the-art technology, we celebrate the timeless wisdom found in classic resources. From traditional dry erase boards to cherished books, we believe that God's gifts of knowledge and wisdom are abundant, whether within the pages of a weathered dictionary or the boundless expanse of the internet. By embracing both the time-honored traditions of the past and the groundbreaking discoveries of today, we seek to illuminate God's presence in every aspect of learning.
Join us at St. Margaret of Scotland, where tradition meets innovation, and every student is empowered to embark on a journey of discovery, growth, and spiritual enrichment.
