You will go through your educational journey, learning a vast range of subjects, knowledge, and skills through this device.
All Textbooks Included
At AlHambra, all textbooks and e-books are included in your book fee. These books are purchased by us, and provided to your students by our Media Center. This means you do not have to go through the hassle of searching for, buying, and returning textbooks online! We take care of all the heavy lifting for you so you can foucs on getting the best education!
Distraction-Free Learning
We believe you have the right to an excellent education, free of distraction during instructional hours. That is why we employ device monitoring and firewall content filtering for student devices. This helps keep everyone on-track academically, as well as keeping you safe from any unsafe content on the internet.
Software Suites
Each AlHambra Student is provided with access to the Adobe Creative Suite (Creative Cloud) during their time as a Venture. This allows them to access applications that are used by large companies. The suite includes Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, AfterEffects, and more!
Students are also provided with a Google Education Plus account. This includes the latest top-of-the-line features from Google, such as large amounts of storage, premium features to help with learning, and extra/enhanced security.
Infrastructure
We believe technology should help you achieve your goals as a student, not keep you back from doing so.
AlHambra invests in a highly reliable, secure network that is maintained two full-time IT staff members. Strong, fast Wi-Fi is available throughout the building for students to access educationnal resources. Robust content filtering is employed on our network to keep students safe and focused on academics while browsing the internet at school.
