Technology Update

We continue to upgrade our technology hardware and software at Akiva. Here a few kindergarten students are working together on the computer in the morning prior to the beginning of class.

The present ratio of students to computers is 4:1. Our sixth grade classroom has a laptop for each student with a wireless printer.

Our building has also been set up and is now a totally wireless environment.

Google Earth and Akiva

Recently while on Google Earth, I found the following images of Akiva Academy. Wanted to share them with you.

"Discovery Day"

Last Sunday we had a very successful "Discovery Day" at Akiva.

"Discovery Day" is an opportunity for us to display for potential families and for our present families some of the positive experiences taking place here at Akiva. Several fun activities (a large "bounce about" area in the gym, as well as bingo and refreshments) and educational activities (science experiments, math activities and Hebrew lessons and web sites) were available for the students and families who attended. Tours of the Akiva facilities and the Jewish Community Center were also available.

All of those who attended enjoyed the time spent visiting and learning about Akiva Academy.
