The Bancroft iPad Initiative

As part of our commitment to embrace 21st century technology for education, Bancroft School has adopted the iPad as our 1:1 technology tool for teaching and learning. To ensure the effective and safe use of the iPad both in and out of the classroom, Bancroft School will provide ongoing training to students, faculty, and parents throughout the year.
