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.

Shorecrest is committed to:
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.
View our K-12 Technology Skills Scope and Sequence. This graphic shows the foundational technology skills expected to meet the learning goals embedded in the ISTE Standards for Students. Additionally, these skills can increase productivity and enhance basic technical competence.
Technology is a driving force in the world today. It also introduces some remarkable opportunities at Shorecrest to expand what's possible for teaching and learning. To facilitate participation in Shorecrest 1:1 device programs, we are implementing a Family-Funded iPad and Mac Program, which offers families the option to access educational pricing to purchase their child's device.
Middle School: Middle School students in grades 5-8 are issued a school iPad. No additional purchase is needed.
9th - 10th Grade: Participate in our school-issued laptop program in the Upper School. No additional purchase is needed.
11th - 12th Grade: Students are required to bring either an iPad and/or a Mac laptop to school, provided by their family. Windows laptops will not be supported. The Technology Team recommends families purchase the following:
