1-to-1 iPad Program

(6th–8th Grade) 1:1 iPad Program

Campbell Christian Schools equips every 6th–8th Grade student with the tools to succeed in today’s technology‑driven world while maintaining a learning environment grounded in Christian values. Our innovative 1:1 iPad Program empowers students to explore, collaborate, and communicate more effectively through technology integrated with strong academic instruction and faith-based learning.

By combining modern digital tools with personal responsibility, the 1:1 program helps students use technology purposefully—to think critically, create meaningfully, and share ideas ethically as followers of Christ.

Technology Designed for Learning and Connection

Each 6th–8th Grade student at Campbell Christian Schools is issued an individual iPad for the entire academic year. This device serves as a hub for online textbooks, class assignments, research, and communication through the school’s protected digital ecosystem.

Students use the iPad as part of their daily learning routine for both in-class and at-home assignments. The program fosters accountability, curiosity, and independence—three key qualities for success in middle school and beyond.

To ensure safety and reliability, Campbell Christian Schools self‑insures each iPad for accidental damage at a cost of $150 annually, giving parents peace of mind while maintaining affordability. Devices are filtered and monitored to protect students online, and the school’s robust wireless network provides secure access for all academic applications.

Purposeful Integration of Technology in Faith‑Based Education

Our goal is not just to keep pace with technological change but to model how digital tools can be used thoughtfully and morally. Teachers integrate iPads into the classroom in a way that reinforces Christian stewardship—teaching students to use technology responsibly, ethically, and for purposes that glorify God.

Students learn that technology is a tool for creation and communication, not distraction. Whether conducting research, designing multimedia presentations, or studying Scripture digitally, they gain valuable skills for high school, college, and life while building character anchored in faith.

Empowering 6th–8th Graders: Learning with the 1:1 iPad Program

The use of iPads transforms how students engage with the curriculum, bringing lessons to life through interactivity and accessibility.

Academic and Spiritual Growth Through Technology

At Campbell Christian Schools, we believe technology should expand learning while deepening faith. The 1:1 iPad Program encourages students to see how innovation and biblical truth work hand in hand. Throughout the school year, teachers use digital tools to enhance Bible studies, history simulations, math modeling, and scientific exploration. Students might explore Google Earth while studying ancient civilizations, record arguments through iMovie for persuasive speaking projects, or take digital notes using Notability during chapel presentations. Each activity reinforces the idea that faith is active, relevant, and connected—whether students are coding, composing, or creating.
