Frequently asked questions

How did BSTA become an Apple Distinguished School?

BSTA earned its Apple Distinguished School designation by embedding innovation at the heart of everything we do — using Apple technology to personalize learning, spark creativity, and develop critical thinkers. Our commitment to global citizenship drove us to connect students with real-world challenges, while Apple's ecosystem gave us the tools to make it happen. By always choosing technology that serves learning with purpose, BSTA built a culture of innovation that Apple recognized as a model for 21st-century education.

How has your school benefitted from being an ADS?

Being an Apple Distinguished School has benefited BSTA far beyond simply using Apple technology. It has connected us to a global community of innovative educators, giving us access to valuable resources, best practices, and cutting-edge tools that continuously elevate our teaching and learning. Through ADS, we have had the opportunity to visit other distinguished schools, exchanging ideas and inspiring new approaches to education. This collaborative network has strengthened our culture of innovation and global citizenship, ensuring our students and teachers are always learning, growing, and connected to the best in education worldwide.

We built capacity for ADS by fostering a culture where continuous learning is a shared commitment. Through ongoing professional development, hands-on training, and a supportive leadership team that leads by example, our faculty and staff grew together as lifelong learners. We created spaces for collaboration — common learning experiences where teachers could share, experiment, and innovate alongside one another. Leadership played a key role by championing innovation, removing barriers, and empowering every educator to embrace technology with confidence and purpose, ultimately building a strong, unified team ready to deliver an Apple Distinguished learning experience.
