Technical Requirements
Many families are supplied with a loaner computer, printer, and software that adhere to school requirements. Many families are also reimbursed for their Internet connection (check with your school), with the schools providing the technical support and troubleshooting they need to keep their system running smoothly. These systems are instructional property and must be returned when the student is no longer enrolled in the school. (High school students receive a printer-fax-scanner instead of a printer.)
