At Modern Knowledge Schools, our mission is to cultivate global, life-long learners. Technology plays a crucial role in enhancing our teaching and learning environment.
We believe education is about unlocking the innate talents in every child to help them contribute to an ever-advancing civilization.
Since 2015, we have integrated technology into our schools, aiming for full digital empowerment by 2020. We became a Google for Education licensed institution, established robust infrastructure, and implemented a 1:1 Chromebook program for grades 6-10 and a 1:1 iPad program for grades 3-5. For grades 11 and 12, we adopted a BYOD program with centralized management systems for safety and effectiveness.
Our commitment to innovation ensures that we equip our students with the skills they need for the future.

The Chromebook 1:1 program at MKS has been a remarkable success, and our school has seen incredible growth in technology use in recent years. In the 2019-2020 school year, we are proud to be introducing iPads in grades three to five. We are proud to say that in just a few short years we have fully integrated 1:1 technology in grades 3 to 12- what an advancement for teaching and learning at MKS!
To share the success of our Chromebook program and explain the wide-reaching effects of tech integration on teaching and learning, the Technology Department created a short documentary with the MKS Film Club in the 2018-2019 school year. Special thanks to Zaid Ahmad and Meera Khusro for their production work, and to Mr. Bankes for his assistance in producing the film.
