Technology at PMA

Transforming Learning
It makes it easier for us to learn. Technology grabs your attention.
Kahoot! Nearpod, Socrative, Google Classroom, have helped with
keeping organized and understanding the content. iMovie projects
like reenacting The Merchant of Venice was very helpful. We also
got to do projects on Instagram and Twitter. I cant imagine this
school without technology. - Samantha Nacayama, Class of 2016

What We Have Accomplished

From SMHS to PMA

The class of 2015 consisted of young
ladies who attended half as St.
Matthias Victorians and half as PMA
Warriors. Upon graduation, they were
surveyed regarding the technology
at PMA:

I appreciate that we
upgraded our technology It
made a huge impact on
curriculum in comparison to
SMHS.
- Senior from Class of 2015

At St. Matthias when I was a

freshman to sophomore
they didnt have that much
technology. Now in PMA we
have a lot and it helps more
with our studies.
- Senior from Class of 2015

The technology is amazing!

The WIFI is great for people
that cant access it at home.
The amount of technology
available makes things more
convenient for the students. Its
really great, today PMA has so
many technological resources.
