At Merryhill Midtown, we take pride in being recognized as an Apple Distinguished School. This prestigious designation highlights our commitment to utilizing innovative technology to enhance teaching and learning experiences. We often get questions like “What is an Apple Distinguished School?” and “Why does it matter?”.  We will answer both those questions and share how it translates into impactful classroom practices.

What is an Apple Distinguished School?

An Apple Distinguished School is an educational institution that showcases exemplary integration of Apple technology to foster creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking among students. These schools serve as beacons of educational innovation, utilizing Apple products and tools to transform the learning experience.

In our classrooms, the impact of being an Apple Distinguished School is visible in various ways. Here are some key examples:

  1. Personalized Learning: Apple technology, such as iPads and educational apps, allows us to tailor instruction to meet the unique needs of each student. Our educators can provide personalized learning experiences, catering to individual learning styles and pace.
  2. Collaboration and Communication: With Apple’s suite of collaboration tools and apps, such as Pages and Keynote, our students engage in collaborative projects seamlessly. They can work together, share ideas, and communicate effectively, enhancing their teamwork and interpersonal skills.

They can express themselves through multimedia projects, video editing, and music production. These tools empower students to think outside the box and communicate their ideas in engaging and innovative ways.
