Apple Distinguished School
Oceanus International School has been part of the Apple Distinguished Schools network since 2022, an international recognition that distinguishes schools which use technology in an intentional and innovative way, with a real impact on student learning.
Being an Apple Distinguished School means that, at Oceanus, technology is neither an accessory nor an isolated element of the classroom. It is a strategic pedagogical tool, fully integrated into the curriculum and placed at the service of developing essential 21st-century skills: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication and learner autonomy.
Through the use of Apple devices and active learning methodologies, we promote learning experiences that are more meaningful, personalised and challenging. Students are encouraged to investigate, create, experiment, document, reflect and share, becoming active participants in their own learning journey. Technology gives every student a voice, respects different learning paces and styles, and strengthens the connection between knowledge, context and purpose.
At Oceanus International School, technology also enables new approaches to assessment that are more formative and continuous, focusing on the learning process rather than solely on final outcomes. Teachers and students use digital tools to monitor progress, document learning and reflect on their learning process, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
The use of Apple technology reinforces our commitment to an innovative, humanistic and student-centred education, where technology is applied in a conscious, critical and responsible way, always with a clear purpose: to enhance learning and prepare students for a constantly changing world.
This commitment to the intentional and innovative use of technology is further strengthened by the expertise of our teaching team. Oceanus International School is proud to have two Apple Distinguished Educators among its teachers, a distinction that recognises educators who stand out for their pedagogical leadership, creativity and impact in integrating technology to enhance learning.
The presence of Apple Distinguished Educators within our educational community reflects our ongoing investment in the professional development and appreciation of our teachers, reaffirming our belief that it is people—and the quality of pedagogical relationships—that truly make a difference in education.
