Recognizing the ever-increasing importance of digital technology in the lives of students worldwide, Maranatha High School is one-to-one school utilizing iPads for instructional and digital support. Maranatha students not only read their textbooks on their iPads, but engage in dynamic digital learning across the curriculum both in and out of the classroom. The real-time feedback provides diagnostic data to teachers that result in differentiated instruction opportunities for accelerated learners and remediation opportunities for skill advancement where necessary. The goal is for student learning to increase as instruction becomes more individualized.
