Science & Arts Academy
Science & Arts Academy Where Gifted Children Thrive
​At Science & Arts Academy we strive to provide the best educational experience possible for our students. With various learning models currently in place, updated technology can dramatically impact the experience for our teachers and students today and in the future. An overall investment of $55,895 towards technology in the following areas will benefit our program for years to come.
Picture
AUDIO SPEAKERS
Faculty frequently share audio, music videos and presentations with both place-based and virtual students. A small item with a potential for significant impact is providing a quality audio speaker for each classroom for consistent and quality communication.
Picture
MACBOOK COMPUTERS
SAA faculty currently all use varying models of computers with inconsistent capabilities, many of which are 5 years old or more. Updating MacBooks increases productivity and processing power allowing them to take advantage of new tools and software made for educators and students using Apple products.

PROJECTORS
​While nearly all learning spaces have projectors, many are outdated and take up valuable classroom space. New projectors will be ceiling mounted and are brighter with a better resolution image.This will decrease eye strain and allow better visual quality on the screen.
For more information on costs and needs for each item, see or download our information sheet.  Your gift of a specific item(s), or a general gift towards the campaign, will greatly impact the experience of our students and staff. Thank you for your support!
