Overview

As part of Gilmour Academy’s technology initiative, LancerTech, students are required to bring a computer to school every day. This allows teachers to leverage a variety of tools and services to create a more engaging and impactful learning experience. We support a variety of laptops and encourage students to select the machine that best suits their needs. Students are expected to keep their devices maintained and fully charged.

All students in Grades 7-12 are expected to have their own devices in class each day. Students in the Lower School continue to participate in the iPad program in Grade 1 and the 1:1 laptop program in Grades 2-6.
