Technology is used more and more to enhance students’ educational learning experiences. Technology provides quality information in a “real time” frame. Together the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Metuchen provide teachers, students, and parents with multiple ways of improving learning and communication. Technology provides our students with a world-class virtual library.

Computer Instruction Time
In Elementary Schools, the average computer instruction class time is 40 minutes per week for 30 weeks. This does not include the amount of time computers are used in integrated classtime instruction. Computers are used during classes for research or presentation of final products.
Individual schools will have more detailed information on their computer instruction class time.
High School computer classes run on a semester basis. Depending upon the course, half of the offered courses are on a half semester and the rest are for the full year.
Percentage of Schools with Websites
For the school year 2009-2010, 41 of the 43 schools in the Diocese have websites. This represents 95% of the schools in the Diocese.
Internet Connectivity
All of our schools are internet-connected in either specified computer rooms, library/media centers, and/or classrooms. The goal for all of our schools is to integrate the vast library and resources of the internet into the daily classroom learning so that we can meet the needs of our students, the 21st Century Learners.
The schools are connected with cable, DSL, T1, or broadband access. Individual schools will have more information on types and areas of connection.
