Why Computer Education Is Important

To some, elementary school seems too early to be learning computer skills. However, Yorkshire Academy believes in the numerous benefits of guiding children through proper computer use during their elementary years. Of course, computer education teaches them to use common software applications. But that isn’t the only benefit your child will get from computer classes at a young age. Our students enjoy all the following advantages: 

  • Problem Solving Skills: Computer skills go hand in hand with logic. After all, you use logic every day when you troubleshoot computer problems or come up with the perfect search query to get the answer you need. 
  • Exposure to Language: The internet is a crucial language learning tool. Children who can navigate computer programs will have increased exposure to language, thereby increasing their comprehension. 
  • Collaboration: Many computer-related projects require collaborating with peers and instructors. 
  • Self-Confidence: Education of all kinds results in increased self-confidence, and that definitely goes for computer education. When children master a new computer skill, they feel accomplished, and with accomplishment comes a higher sense of self-esteem.

Immersing Students in a Variety of Subjects

Beyond computer education, Yorkshire Academy offers instruction in an array of subjects. Our students have the opportunity to participate in all kinds of enrichment programs and extracurriculars, no matter their grade level.
