What It Means to Be an Apple Distinguished School
Being named an Apple Distinguished School places our school among a select group of schools recognized for innovation, leadership, and educational excellence. This distinction highlights our commitment to:
- Empowering student voice and choice
- Designing creative, student-centered learning experiences
- Using technology to deepen, not replace, learning
- Preparing students with the skills they need for the future
Only a small number of schools in California have received this honor, making Price a model for what’s possible when creativity and technology work together. Learn more about the award.
Creativity Powered by Technology
At Price, technology amplifies learning. It empowers students to think deeply, create boldly, and share their voice with purpose. With iPads as a tool for learning across all content areas, students engage in meaningful experiences that go far beyond consumption.
We are committed to developing learners who are not only prepared for the future but ready to shape it:
Creating Fearlessly
Students are given creative freedom to showcase their learning. All students are given opportunities to teach and present, within a culture that values leadership and creativity.
Innovating with Technology
Student curiosity leads to creative thinking and application of learning. Our innovative practices allow our staff and students to connect and link to the world around them.
Learning Beyond Limits
We are committed to providing spaces that empower students to spark creativity and deepen their thinking. Students have multiple opportunities to grow as student leaders, inspire others and feel valued.
