APPS & PORTALS
At SZIA, we use market-leading education apps and technologies to enhance our students’ learning and to keep our parents directly informed by their children’s teachers. For our Primary School, we use Seesaw: a web-based app that allows our students to create digital portfolios, which students shared with parents. Parents will see both their child’s work and their teacher’s constructive feedback.
Our secondary school utilizes several advanced tools to enhance the educational experience: AssessPrep for creating and administering digital assessments with realtime performance tracking and feedback; Boost for offering personalized study plans and resources to improve student learning; In-thinking for fostering critical thinking and creativity through collaborative projects and discussions; and ManageBac for curriculum mapping, assignment tracking, and progress reporting. These tools integrate seamlessly to support teachers, students, and parents in navigating all aspects of the curriculum, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient learning environment.
