Primary classes focus on learning desktop skills. They work mainly with activities in word processing and graphics. Using the KidPix and PowerPoint programs first and second graders can create their own slide shows with sound, transitions, and graphic tools.

In first and second grade students have created books that describe and illustrate their many activities throughout the school year or their understanding of a specific subject area such as science. They have created slideshows from stories they have written. Second grade stories are further enhanced with sounds and transitions. Children have designed game boards and seasonal art. Students are also introduced to basic spreadsheet.
