The Heights School offers two levels of computer programming, Computers I and Computers II AP. These elective classes are open to juniors and seniors who are interested in learning about computer programming. Computer programming helps the boys to think analytically and reinforces the benefits of math classes.

 

In addition, the Internet is available in the library for students to use in a closely-monitored environment. The Heights School has refrained from relying too heavily on computers in education, especially in the lower grades. While computers can certainly be a very useful tool, the key academic struggles that young students face relate not so much to accessing information in an efficient manner as to processing and synthesizing the information that is available to them from so many sources. A liberal arts education must first help students to learn how to be critical readers, thinkers and writers.
