One to One Program

Following the example of Jesuit founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola, who was one of the first to purchase a printing press in the 16th Century, Loyola Academy promoted the early adoption of iPads in education and required an iPad for each student beginning with the 2013-14 academic year. In November 2016, Apple renewed Loyola Academy’s status as an Apple Distinguished School, continuing recognition for leadership, innovation and academic excellence. As part of the application process, we authored a short iBook, telling Chapter 2 of our story. There are many examples of how we have grown as a 1:1 iPad learning environment, including student creations. This updated web page provides detailed information and links to some frequently asked questions associated with our One-to-One (1:1) iPad Initiative.
