At Fiat Classical Academy, we ask a lot of questions. Among these are, \u201cIs it good, true and beautiful? Will it help our students, faculty and staff be more fully human?\u201d When it comes to technology use in the classroom, we make our decisions based on what we believe is in the best interests of our students.<\/span><\/p>\n In the realm of technology, these questions have led us to prioritize face-to-face conversations. To foster this, we do not utilize a one-to-one device program, nor student use of devices in the classroom. We provide space for young men and women to interact without cell phones or other devices distracting them from true communion and connection. They are growing up in a world of impoverished communication, and Fiat Classical Academy is a refuge where authentic relationships can be formed.<\/span><\/p>\n
