TCS uses one of the most integrated information technology programmes in Canada. The School's educational technology vision is "to enable students to harness technology in a constructive, responsible way in order to enhance their ability to learn and advance their ability to communicate." TCS maximizes teaching and learning by enabling all teachers and students to access networked computers. Students use their laptops to write reports and essays, conduct research, analyze data, organize their work, for multimedia and to make presentations and communicate with the world. As TCS community members perform these activities, they remain aware that this access to information and opinion amplifies the need for enlightened critical thinking skills and solid moral values. Never does the introduction of computers into the School's classrooms compromise the all-important contact between teacher and students.

All Senior School students are required to have laptop computers, purchased for them by the School, as they routinely use them in their classes. TCS has partnered with Dell Canada to provide a laptop to each student upon arrival at the School. The laptop is purchased by TCS for the student and imaged with all necessary software. Student accounts are charged for this expense the first week of September. TCS also has computer labs in the Senior School for use within our computer science and fine arts courses. (The Junior School students enjoy the benefits of three class sets of laptop computers.) 

The School has a state-of-the-art, switched local area network, operating on a giga backbone and approximately 1,500 live data jacks throughout the campus, with at least two in each of the student residence rooms. Dedicated Internet lines coming into the School provide all students, faculty and staff with their own e-mail accounts, and the network and Internet can be accessed from anywhere on campus.

All TCS boarding students have their own voice mailboxes and all boarders have telephone jacks in their individual residence rooms.

TCS uses the most current computer software, which includes Microsoft® Office XP as our campus-wide productivity suite. All academic courses are accessible via a content management system through which students can access homework, assignments and each course syllabus. The School’s content management system, Angel Learning, improves communication between the student and teacher, particularly outside of class time, and it is widely used by North American post-secondary institutions.Other technologies, including SmartBoards and LCD projectors, are standard in almost all TCS classrooms, and they make the delivery of curriculum engaging for students and faculty alike.

IT Services Help Desk

TCS is fortunate to have a large information technology services team which is able to support well the School's education technology needs. Our help desk is open during regular school hours and most Saturdays and has a dedicated staff to troubleshoot any problems our students encounter with their Dell school laptops and school-sanctioned software.
