In January 2021, the Year 7 students will be the leaders in the Bring Your Own Apple pilot. As you may be aware Regents has been selected to be an Apple pilot school with Nord Anglia Education. Nord Anglia has recently been approached by Apple to become partners in developing Apple Education across the Nord Anglia Network. As Nord Anglia is leading in Education, and Apple with technology this partnership will develop innovation for learning with technology. We are excited to be going on this journey with your children and developing them as inventors of the future.
Our philosophy at Regents is that, “We are ambitious for our students and teachers, providing forward thinking international education so that our students can achieve more than they think possible.” This partnership with Apple will enable and empower your children to take their learning to a whole new level that meets the needs of contemporary trends.
In January 2021, all year 7 students will need their own Apple device to be able to access the new innovative curriculum. These devices are to be used for learning and educational purposes only. The teachers are now working on developing a 21st Century Curriculum which will support the children in their journey to be creators in the future.
There will be much more information to come, below we have some information on which apple device we recommend for you purchase for your child to bring to school in January 2021, and some frequently asked questions.
