Students in grades 6-12 participate in the 2:1 program. A 2:1 program provides students and faculty the ability to enhance the educational experience through the use of two technology devices each, an iPad and a laptop.

Both the laptop and iPad are purchased through the Academy and added to the tuition bill. Students must purchase an iPad case from a list provided by the school.

The 2022-2023 cost for the 2:1 technology package is $1,100, which includes:

• technology devices
• device insurance for four years
• a rugged case
• an Apple pencil
• relevant apps and software on each device

Students entering 8th grade will receive their devices on loan from the Academy.

No, all technology must be purchased through the Academy.

Because AHN uses Apple’s proprietary system to monitor devices and deploy Apps and books to students, all devices must be provided by the school. This system is only available on devices that an institution has purchased directly through Apple.

Each student who leaves the Academy prior to making the final payment on the devices is required to return it with the power adapter and case to the school in good working condition or pay the balance in full.

Students are expected to have both laptop and iPad devices in good working order for class each day. Devices not performing optimally need to be assessed by the Technology Department. All repairs are handled by the school. All devices must remain in the case provided by the Academy. Uncased devices brought in for repair will incur a fee of 50 percent of the repair cost plus a new case at $50.

• Educational learning tool - The device will allow students to view their textbooks, take notes, complete assignments and written work, and create presentations and other materials on the devices.
• Collaborative tool - The device will enable students to work with peers and/or teachers in a variety of ways and to share knowledge and information, both during school and afterwards.
• Instant access - Students access digital materials provided by teachers and other sources whenever they are using their device. The school's robust Wi-Fi network enables access to information any where, any time on campus.

Apple technology devices must be enrolled in JAMF, a device management system for all students. While students are on campus, all devices are required to access the school’s Wi-Fi network, which has built-in safeguards and restrictions. The Academy's Acceptable Use Policy is updated regularly for the 2:1 initiative. Chromebooks are managed by Hapara and Google Education Suite. Chrome Safe Search is enabled on all devices at all times.

While it is a goal of the Academy to move to all digital textbooks, it is not completely practical at this time. The Academy will always select the most appropriate book for each course, and those books are not always available in a digital format.
