The use of technology to foster creativity, problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking has been a cornerstone of the Saint Ursula academic program for over a decade. At Saint Ursula, each student is issued a 2-n-1 laptop PC. A 2-in-1 laptop, also known as a convertible laptop, is a portable computer that combines the features of a laptop and a tablet. It is equipped with a touch screen and writing stylus and is used as a primary tool in many classes. With access to class materials, textbooks, and other resources online, a student’s laptop is a gateway to her understanding content, communicating ideas, and exploring new knowledge.
In addition to the laptop, students utilize graphing calculators, a music technology lab, and 3-D printers. These tools may be incorporated into both core and elective classes.
Saint Ursula Academy students from the SUAT/INTERalliance club won the 2019 INTERalliance TechOlympics Showcase competition. The SUA team beat 17 other area high schools in the competition!
