We are proud to be recognized as an
Apple Distinguished School
Shine Bright and Light the Way!
At Unsworth Elementary, learning is powered by creativity, innovation, and purpose. As an Apple Distinguished School, we are recognized for creating a dynamic learning environment where technology is not the focus; it’s the tool that unlocks student voice, creativity, and deeper thinking.
Our students don’t just use technology, they use it to create, collaborate, and lead.
Through the intentional integration of Apple technology across all content areas, students engage in meaningful learning experiences that allow them to share their ideas, demonstrate understanding, and connect with authentic audiences. Whether working in partnerships, small groups, cross-grade buddies, or flexible learning environments, every student has the opportunity to shine.

At Unsworth, 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.

Develop Leaders
Students are empowered with voice and choice, building confidence as they take ownership of their learning and lead with purpose.
Innovation Lab: Where Ideas Come to Life
Our Innovation Lab is the heart of hands-on, creative exploration; a space where students are encouraged to think beyond the expected.
Here, learning comes alive through:
- Robotics and coding
- Engineering and design challenges
- 3D printing and prototyping
- Music and digital creation
- Broadcasting and media production
- LEGO design and collaborative builds
These experiences are rooted in STEAM and designed to build essential 21st-century skills like communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity.
In the Innovation Lab, students don’t just learn about the future. They create it.
