Strategic Objectives
“JCA allows the curriculum to drive technology which engages students in a more
stimulating learning environment. A technology that supports the curriculum is a
school priority and would allow us to gain more educational choices for the school
and the staff while positioning JCA as a technology leader,” said Budz.
The academy wanted to improve its educational environment by ensuring network
availability to provide students, teachers and other staff with continuous access to
proper resources for learning. As a result, the school’s priority was to install a
dependable, high performance network infrastructure that would accommodate
high-speed, multimedia applications, enhancing Wi-Fi service to all areas in
the building.
