Mount de Chantal's academic activities are fully supported by leading-edge technology. The Mount has six computer labs for student use, including the Miller Technology Lab, an elementary computer lab, a science lab, a computer repair lab, the library lab, and a lab in the boarding house. The Miller Technology Lab is new to the school in the 2005-2006 school year and is outfitted with 21 state-of-the-art PCs, an audio-visual system, surround sound, and an overhead projection system. The science lab incorporates computers and computer-based probes and monitoring equipment. Mount de Chantal's science faculty couples these tools with the chemistry, physics, biology, earth sciences and other science curricula to tie in closely with textbook lessons, enabling students to receive hands-on training that significantly enhances their understanding of the world around us.

Mount de Chantal also works with the Challenger Learning Center (CLC) and the Center for Educational Technologies at Wheeling Jesuit University (CET) using distance learning technologies that enable our students to take part in e-Missions to resolve science-based crisis situations. During these e-Missions, students are linked live to CLC's "flight directors" and examine real-time data, analyze it, and make their recommendations to Mission Control.  These e-missions take full advantage of our technology and allow students to experience the critical thinking, leadership, cooperation, and problem solving challenges necessary for mission success.

Additionally, each classroom at Mount de Chantal is outfitted with a computer with high-speed Internet access through our wired and wireless network. Mount de Chantal employs a firewall and content filtering to help safeguard our network and the students using the Mount's computers.

Each room in the boarding house is outfitted with high-speed Internet access. Boarding students generally bring their own computers, but a small computer lab is also maintained in the boarding house for student use.
