Additionally, Noah Webster adds another component of differential learning by implementing a standard based technology program. The curriculum allows the generation of student achievement data that provides teachers and their education design teams the ability to identify concepts and topics that the individual student has mastered or needs additional reteaching.

Noah Webster has implemented a structured STEM Academy that incorporates a state of the art technology program which provides a laptop for each student for use at their desk. Each teacher has been provided with technology tools such as interactive smart boards equipped with projectors. Teachers can illustrate what they are teaching, thereby engaging the student’s attention at a greater level.

Noah Webster nurtures a partnership between the school and families regarding the benefits of the technology programs and new technology based learning models. Noah Webster invites parents to participate in multiple technology and curriculum trainings and presentations. This commitment to technology helps each student extend learning beyond the classroom to the home environment.
