Student Work

The students at WPSD are given daily access to the latest educational technology. Award winning projects completed by students have put WPSD in the forefront of educational programs across the country.

The emphasis on technology is two-fold: 1) to prepare students for college and the work force and 2) to bridge the communication accessibility gap.

Development of technological literacy begins in the Children’s Center, where students are first introduced to computers. They learn to maneuver a mouse and play a variety of educational games.

Computer exposure continues in the Lower School where students are scheduled to work in the Lower School Technology Center, which integrates computer applications with scanners, modems, digital cameras and video camcorders.

Students develop and improve their skills even more in the Middle and High School, pursuing more advanced web page design, desktop publishing, graphic arts, multimedia development and video editing.

Subject area classes work on various projects that could include anything from a videoconference with another school to microscopic pictures of organisms, using new videoflex cameras.

Advanced technology has become a standard component of the educational program at WPSD.
