Archmere Named Apple Distinguished School

The Apple Distinguished School designation is reserved for programs that meet criteria for innovation, leadership, and educational excellence, and demonstrate a clear vision of exemplary learning environments.

 

Since its implementation in the fall of 2011, the 1:1 Program at Archmere has allowed the academy to broaden curriculum to include interdisciplinary classes, promote both independent and collaborative learning, and offer new and customized learning resources for both teachers and students. Archmere’s vision for the school, set forth by its 2012 Strategic Plan, commits the academy to enhancing its exceptional academic tradition with 21st century best practices for learning.

 

“The 1:1 Laptop Program provides students and teachers with a powerful tool to develop and refine critical thinking skills and collaborative work methods that contribute to invaluable experiences for students' college preparation and teachers’ professional growth alike,” says Archmere Headmaster, Michael A. Marinelli, Ed.D. ’76. “This innovative technology encourages life-long learning for all who participate.”
