Technology Resources
At Heathwood Hall, we believe technology—when used thoughtfully—can be a powerful tool for learning. As a 1:1 school for students in grades 1–12, each student is equipped with an iPad or laptop to support personalized, hands-on learning that is age-appropriate and pedagogically sound. We also prioritize digital citizenship, helping students develop the skills and ethics to navigate digital spaces with the same integrity and care they would in person.

| Lower School |

|
In the Lower School, we balance technology use with active, hands-on learning. Students in grades 1–4 participate in a 1:1 iPad program that began in 2019 in grades 3 and 4 and has since expanded. iPads are used to enhance instruction in meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways, while teachers continue to prioritize play, creativity, and collaborative learning. |
| Middle School |
|
Middle School students (grades 5–8) use iPads to collaborate, create, and deepen their learning. From interactive math tools to digital note-taking with Logitech Crayons, students gain fluency in both academic content and technology skills. Heathwood has been a Google for Education school for over seven years, with infrastructure and training that empower students and teachers alike to use tech meaningfully in the classroom. |
| Upper School |
|
Technology has been part of the Upper School experience for over 30 years. Our 1:1 laptop program, launched eight years ago, is part of a broader digital learning ecosystem that includes cloud-based tools, online research databases, and professional development for faculty. Students also have opportunities to explore tech-focused courses such as computer science and graphic design, building skills for college and beyond. |
Digital Citizenship
We teach students to be engaged, ethical, and thoughtful digital citizens through a framework built around seven essential habits:
- Be present
- Be real
- Manners matter
- There is no delete
- Nothing is private
- Protect yourself
- Credit others
These principles guide our students in developing healthy, respectful digital behaviors and using technology responsibly—now and into the future.
