[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St Bernadette is low tech. App usage is supplemental. Mostly paper pencil and textbooks. Essays throughout middle school were written by hand. [/quote]

Great your kid can write essays manually, but more important is to know how to submit essays via Google docs, for example, especially at MS level.

Technology isn't going away. Getting more complex actually so these kids had at least be able to navigate Canva by now.[/quote]

Well, try this. We enrolled our son at the Heights (but we are not Catholic).  The focus is on "thinking" skills, as in an old English boarding school.  The boys memorize and recite poetry.  They learn longhand.  They read the great books.  They learn how to make thoughtful arguments re the texts, religion and philosophy.  There is no emphasis on computers.  The head of the school is known for observing boys listening to music and will stop them and ask them to talk about the lyrics (most misogynistic) and ask them why they are listening to that.

The same goes for the women's school, Oakcrest.

Our son went on to an excellent state university, Oxford, and is now at Yale Law School. He thinks the Heights made him think and taught him to discipline himself against the internet.[/quote]
