The Teacher and Students Portals are designed to work on tablets as well as PC’s or laptops.  This allows you to work from any web access point which may mean assigning labs to be completed at home.

These resources are being sponsored by the Faith and Science Counsel, the North America Division’s Education Dept. and Loma Linda University.  This allows us to provide them to our schools for no additional cost.
