1:1 MacBook and iPad Programmes

CDNIS is an Apple Distinguished School. The use of an iPad and MacBook is a core feature of our school's learning and teaching experience. All students in Grade 1 to 3 will use their own iPad, while students in Grade 4 to 12 will use their own MacBook.

Parents can purchase the iPad or MacBook from a store of their choice (e.g. Apple Store), or from the school's 1:1 programme partner, Senco-Masslink.
