Niles New Tech program's innovative approach to instruction and culture revolves around integrated technology. All classrooms have a one-to-one computing ratio. With access to web-enabled computers, every learner becomes a self-directed learner who no longer needs to rely primarily on teachers or textbooks for knowledge.
Web-based systems unify learners' learning experiences, enabling them to share projects online, collaborate with teachers and peers, and create new knowledge.
