Technology is a major factor in all parts of our curriculum. Therefore, all students must have a laptop in order to attend Ocean's Edge School of Worship. Students have the option of purchasing a laptop at educational cost through the school. However, students that wish to bring their own laptop may do so, but it must meet the specifications listed below. This is necessary in order to insure the laptop is compatible with the software we will be using in our courses. Students that elect to bring their own laptop will be responsible to keep them in good working order.
