New Hampton School is pleased to announce that it has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for 2013 to 2015 for its implementation of iPad technology into the learning experience. New Hampton is in its second year of a 1:1 iPad program that was a product of a comprehensive pilot program and technology integration training for teachers that began in 2010. New Hampton School was recognized a year ago for the first time as an Apple Distinguished School.

The Apple Distinguished School designation is reserved for programs that meet criteria for innovation, leadership, and educational excellence, and demonstrate Apple’s vision of exemplary

learning environments.

“The selection of our school as an Apple Distinguished School highlights our success as an innovative and compelling learning environment that engages students and provides tangible

evidence of academic accomplishment," said Head of School Andrew Menke. "We are proud of our faculty and students and the way they have embraced technological innovation. The results of our efforts can be seen in the quality of the classroom experience and the way in which our students are prepared for college and beyond."

Director of Technology Integration Hans Mundahl has led the School's commitment to technology integration and is pleased with the evolution of the program.

"We're really excited about the Apple Distinguished School designation," Mundahl said. "It says so much about how innovative our teachers are. I think our iPad program is very closely connected to our mission and educational philosophy and this award is a great acknowledgement of our talented faculty."

New Hampton School continues to be a leader throughout New England and nationwide. The School will host an iPad Open House on December 12. This is a cost-free professional development opportunity for educators. To learn more about the New Hampton School iPad Program, visit the iPad Web Page.
