Apple Distinguished School Designation

Each day, in ways large and small, learning with Apple technology helps the Shorecrest community collaborate, communicate, take risks, and think differently. Shorecrest is proud of its longstanding commitment to innovation, technology integration and preparing students for their futures.

The Shorecrest journey of educational technology and innovation from its 1923 humble roots to its 2016-2018 Apple Distinguished School recognition led to our 2018-2024 reinstatement as an 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.

Shorecrest recognizes that proficiency with technology and the development of information and media skills is essential to a student's future success in academics, the workplace, and lifelong learning.

Scope & Sequence for ISTE Technology Standards

In the summer of 2016, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) released their refreshed ISTE Standards for Students. The new standards provide a framework for amplifying learning with technology. As part of the release, ISTE adopted the scope and sequence developed by Shorecrest’s Instructional Technology Team as a support resource for the new standards.
