1:1 iPad Program
Bishop Alemany High School is committed to providing students with the technology and resources necessary to support academic success. Through the C3 IGNITE In-Kind Grant Program, provided by the Catholic Communication Collaboration (C3) and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, all students and teachers will participate in the school's 1:1 iPad Program beginning in the 2026-2027 school year.
This grant represents a significant investment in our school community and will enhance teaching, learning, collaboration, and access to technology, both on and off campus. Program features include:
- The 1:1 iPad program brings every Alemany student (grades 9-12) a new, fully-connected iPad.
- Students maintain their iPads until graduation or need for replacement; new iPads are provided by the grant annually for incoming 9th graders and new students.
- Teachers and staff receive robust professional development, training and support. This includes hands-on site help, third-party resources, and the ability for teachers to monitor and manage student devices directly from theirs.
- The program also provides students with a sturdy keyboard case that features a mouse trackpad, making the iPad even more practical for schoolwork, research and homework anywhere.
- Teachers receive the Apple Magic Keyboard with their iPad Air, offering a premium experience and extra functionality.
- The program includes a loaner/replacement process so students can get a working device if and when theirs is lost, stolen or damaged.
All iPads are activated with T-Mobile cellular service, providing reliable internet access everywhere at school, at home, on the bus, or waiting for practice. More, each iPad serves as an internet hotspot for the family at home, paid for by the grant for the life of the device.
