Information and Communication Technology has become an integral part of school life at the United Nations International School and technology has become central to the functioning of the school. Networked computers are available at UNIS wherever and whenever they can improve learning and instruction.

The ICT Program at UNIS has the following strategic goals:

• Integrate technology with teaching and learning
• Develop improved and new curriculum units that integrate the use of Information Technology
• Deliver effective technology-oriented professional development
• Make technology available to students, teachers and staff
• Provide a system for support and maintenance of technology
• Formulate technology standards, policies and procedures

The student/computer ratio at UNIS has become 2:1. Over 900 networked desktop computers and laptops are available in classrooms, computer and language labs, libraries, and offices. All computers form part of UNISnet, a "Wide Area Network" that spans both campuses. UNISwifi covers both campuses and provides wireless access to the same network. Every computer has high speed Internet access. Projectors, large classroom monitors, and close to 100 ActivBoards, interactive whiteboards, have been installed to facilitate instruction of class-size groups with the help of a computer.

Starting at the Middle school level, students have individual network accounts and e-mail addresses. The network accounts come with a "home directory," a space on a server that makes it possible for students and faculty to easily and transparently save and retrieve their files from any computer at UNIS. Remote access to the same directory is available through the web. Student resources available through the network include the computerized catalogs of the three UNIS libraries, encyclopedias, collections of articles and periodicals, and language learning software.

The Office of Technology maintains the network and network user accounts and home directories. It manages technology acquisition, installation, and repair. It maintains the UNIS website, intranet, and messaging system. It maintains the central database used by the offices in the different schools and the network servers and software. The Office organizes technology courses for faculty and staff. Mass e-mails are sent from the office to communicate with parents and alumni.
