We provide students with the latest 21st century, cutting edge technology tools for academic excellence. Students have access to 1:1 technology, computer labs and digital resources for learning.

Whether used individually or in small group learning, our students have access to valuable tools and information that makes learning more engaging and effective.
All adults and students in IPS are continuing to grow understanding of digital citizenship and skill around effective use of technology as IPS maintains our transformation to a 1:1 digital learning environment across all IPS schools.
