From first through eighth grades, OHDS students engage in a formal program learning to use computers and the internet safely and effectively. Comprehensive instruction within a well-equipped computer lab gives students the abilities and skills required in a world in which technology supports learning, creativity, science and business management.

The program builds from year to year to provide a sound platform of knowledge and enable timely progress. In the early grades, students begin with the basics such as using computer components and becoming comfortable with the latest technology. As they progress, students learn standard application such as: Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as online research skills. Students also use a variety of educational software for math and language support, including Hebrew language programs.

Students in grades 5 through 8 integrate software and internet research into their core curriculum. They learn to balance online research with traditional library skills. Their ability to navigate the internet enables them to expand their scholastic, personal and Jewish interests. Upon entering high school, OHDS students bring with them the technological skills required for academic success and a thorough grounding for achievement in their futures.
