At South Merrimack Christian Academy, we believe technology is a tool for learning, growth, and gospel impact. Through our 1:1 Chromebook program, each student in Grades 7–12 is equipped with a device to use throughout their time at SMCA. This initiative supports our goal of preparing students for college, career, and service in a digitally connected world.
The 1:1 Initiative is directly tied to the SMCA’s goal that all students will have the technological skills to be successful at college and better prepared to serve Christ in a technology-rich and globally-connected world. In preparation for this opportunity, South Merrimack Christian Academy has increased wireless capacity and upgraded network connections to support multiple devices. Additionally, because safe online behavior is a priority, content filters have been installed on each device that will work regardless of the internet source. Staff will continue to develop the materials, plans, and resources needed to facilitate and inspire student learning. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please contact the school office
