As a top private school, The Rhoades School is a community of creative and curious learners. We’ve been honored as an Apple Distinguished School since 2018, a title given to less than 900 schools in 37 countries. This places us as one of the most innovative schools in the world. We use technology in daily activities to drive creative thinking, foster teamwork, and tailor learning to each child’s needs.
Features of an Apple Distinguished School
1:1 iPad program: At The Rhoades School, technology is a big part of how our students learn. In kindergarten through 3rd grade, our students use the iPad for both solo and group activities. From 4th grade through 8th grade, each of our students has their own iPad, which empowers them to explore new ideas and take on projects with ease.
Curriculum integration: Apple Distinguished Schools use Apple apps and other digital tools to make learning fun, interactive, and safe. This helps students learn in new and exciting ways.
Tech-savvy teachers: Our staff are experts with Apple products. They work together to share fresh ways to use these tools to enhance their lesson plans.
