Network The Choir Academy has a building-wide ethernet cabling. There are two drops in each classroom. There is also a fiber optic network being installed. Internet Access The building-wide network provides access to the Internet through the Project Connect T-1 line.
- At the Choir Academy we see the need to establish a culture of technology where the administration, staff and students have both the facilities and skills to utilize technology to further the instructional process.
- The School's leadership will support this culture through a commitment to ensure an opportunity for teachers to acquire the skills necessary to integrate technology into their subject area.
- Every student will have the opportunity to become highly computer literate through infusion of technology in every assigned subject class from the ninth grade through the twelfth grade.
- The non-teaching staff is viewed as a vital support group for our students. It is mandatory, therefore, that they become as literate as possible in computer technology. To this end, staff development programs will be designed for all members of the CAH staff as a way of maximizing optimum learning experiences for all involved.
