The technology mission of SSIS is to integrate technology into all aspects of the school to facilitate student learning and provide instructional support to:

  • Produce life-long learners
  • Enhance communication
  • Promote critical thinking and problem-solving
  • Promote flexibility and collaboration
  • Instill ethical and responsible behavior

At SSIS, technology is integrated into classrooms and into students’ everyday educational experiences. The school has a network of about 170 computers and all of them are connected to the Internet. Every year SSIS adds new computers and new technologies to its current supply. The school has three IT labs, a Media Center, technologically well equipped Science Labs as well as computers in all classrooms and in the library. SSIS strongly believes that the combination of right infrastructure, comprehensive training and good instructional design will enhance student learning and achievement. So it constantly updates and improves its curriculum, provides technology training for its students and staff and works diligently to insure that there is a reliable and up-to date technology infrastructure that meets the needs of students and teachers.

Students and teachers use computers extensively for doing research, presenting information, for lab experiments, for communication and for other instructional purposes. At SSIS, technology means not only computers but also tools like graphing calculators, data loggers, Geometer sketch pads and others.

Every teacher has his/her own class web pages on Edline, which has information about their classes, homework, assignments, news and other information. Parents and students can log in and view the pages related to their classes.

SSIS strongly promotes ethical and moral values among its students. The school implements a technology code of conduct and every student using the network should sign a network responsibility contract as a part of his/her agreement to it.
