Technology

Dayspring teaches technology throughout the entire curriculum. It is a tool we use to learn more about any and every subject.

As we use technology to more fully explore God’s world, we also strive to master it. We master technology by thinking critically about how we use it in our everyday lives, and we master technology by learning the skills needed to use it efficiently and effectively. We call this technological literacy.

Dayspring offers classes that are electives from a variety of fields using BEYOND TECHNOLOGY curriculum. Our overarching goal is to teach professional skills using professional tools. Students will learn the software, as well as the “soft skills,” needed to succeed in their field whether at college or in the workplace. They will work, whenever possible, on real world projects that have an effect on the community. And they will work for the glory of God.
