Devices & Course Materials
At St. John Bosco High School, we believe in preparing students for success in college and beyond.
At St. John Bosco High School, we believe in preparing students for success in college and beyond — which includes fostering independence, digital fluency, and ownership of their learning. That’s why we follow a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) approach to learning.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Just like most universities, our BYOD model allows students to use the technology they’re most comfortable with while giving families the freedom to choose a device that fits their needs and budget.
Note: If you are in our Engineering Pathway, please review the pathway's device specifications here.
Course Resources
Each course at Bosco is designed with intention — and the textbooks, digital tools, and resources selected by our departments are essential to every Brave’s academic journey. These materials will be used both in class and for independent learning.
Course resource lists will be provided by the instructor of the class at the beginning of the semester. A few things to keep in mind:
-
Digital formats (e-books, PDFs, etc.) are acceptable for classroom use — with the exception of workbooks, which must be physical copies.
-
Resources can be purchased or rented from any retailer of your choice; links provided by instructors are simply one option.
-
AP students should be aware of additional AP testing and course preparation fees.
Questions?
No need to stress — instructors will go over course materials and expectations on the first day of class. We’re here to support every Brave from day one.
