Apple Distinguished School District

Linden Public Schools is proud to be recognized as an Apple Distinguished School District, a designation awarded by Apple Inc. to schools and districts that demonstrate innovation in learning, teaching, and the use of technology.

This recognition is given to institutions that foster creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, while showcasing exemplary learning environments that prepare students for the future. Apple Distinguished Schools and Districts are known for their ability to integrate technology seamlessly into the curriculum, inspiring students to think differently and achieve more.

Being named an Apple Distinguished School District places Linden among a select group of educational institutions recognized worldwide for reimagining the learning experience and equipping students with the skills needed to succeed in the 21st century.

Our Story

Linden Public Schools began its journey with Apple technology more than a decade ago, with a vision to transform teaching and learning. Building by building, classrooms became centers of creativity and collaboration powered by iPad and Mac. What began as individual recognitions for nearly all of our schools has now grown into a district-wide distinction. Today, every school in Linden is an Apple Distinguished School — making us an Apple Distinguished School District.

Success

This recognition is more than an award — it reflects the success of our students and educators. Apple technology empowers our learners to:

  • Collaborate in real time across classrooms and grade levels

  • Think critically and creatively through hands-on projects

  • Express understanding through multimedia and digital storytelling

  • Engage deeply with curriculum via interactive, personalized learning

Our educators create lessons that blend technology seamlessly with strong pedagogy, helping students achieve more than ever.
