Computer Studies and Computer Technology

On this page you will find information related to the Computer Studies and Computer Technology programs at Bradford District High School. 

Computer science & programming courses (ICS course codes) focus on creating computer applications.  Students work individually and in teams to plan, design, and launch software programs.  Course projects include video games, interactive stories and simulations.

Computer technology courses (TEJ course codes) focus on computer hardware. Typical units of all TEJ courses include: computer setup and maintenance, networking, electronics, and robotics.  Student projects include soldering electronic circuit boards and programming robots.

We currently offer all pathways in computer studies and are introducing more computer technology courses.

Extra Help

Keeping up with course material is essential in any course.  Students who are absent several days and make a weak effort to keep up with course material will have difficulty as the course progresses.  It is very important that students take initiative to complete missed work on their own time. 

All computer course work will be posted on course websites.  These websites are accessible from home. 

Extra help will be provided during period 3 lunch hour as needed.  Students will be notified of extra help sessions in advance and are encouraged to attend.
