Technology as a Force for Good
Teaching tech-savvy is a critical skill at The Wolfe School, with all students being taught the fundamentals of programming and tech entrepreneurship.
While it is important to understand and be up to date with the latest that technology has to offer, students need to exercise responsibility with their devices to safeguard their mental health and physical well-being.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for smartphones on campus. Parents are encouraged to contact teachers or administrators if they need to communicate with their children, but we view smartphones as a clear net negative on adolescent education and mental health.
For the same reasons, we strongly discourage the use of social media platforms by students under 18. We help students create foundations for alternative ways of connecting with their peers that involve going out in the world and engaging in more developmentally stimulating experiences and communication.
