Republic of Macedonia

Once considered the least developed of the former Yugoslavian republics, Macedonia is leaping into the 21st century. Thanks to low-cost virtual PC technology from NComputing, Macedonia is the first country ever to provide a 1:1 computing experience (one computer per student) to its entire public school population.

North Carolina Schools

"I was blown away when I saw NComputing’s X300 in action,” says Dr. Louis Johnson of the Rockingham County School District in North Carolina. “It allowed me to stretch my computer budget in such a way that there would no longer be a waiting line to use a computer." Fortunately, Rockingham's results are typical.

Idaho School District

With more than 2,100 students in 9 elementary, middle and high schools spread out over 160 square miles, Fremont County Joint School District 215, located just west of Yellowstone National Park in Idaho shares the same technology challenges faced by most rural school districts in the U.S. NComputing helps schools overcome these challenges.

Kultur School System

"We were able to deploy more than 200 computers at a fraction of the cost and that allowed us to go into every elementary school in our district and upgrade every classroom," says Tracy Smith,director of technology for Fremont County Joint School District 215. The same arithmetic can be applied to your school with NComputing.

South Africa's Western Cape Region

By deploying innovative and affordable solutions like NComputing, economically poor Khanya in the Western Cape region of South Africa has enriched the lives of both its students and educators. In fact, Project Khanya has received numerous national and international awards. Its another story of how NComputing is changing education the world over.

NComputing helps British Columbia school go green

When British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell launched his green initiative, a primary goal was the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 33% from current levels by 2020.

“This is about changing the way we think,” said Premier Campbell, whose plan includes a greater focus on conservation, with seven to nine million tons per year in CO2 emission reductions from electric power generation. He asked that businesses and government do their part wherever possible. Lindsay Park Elementary School in Rocky Mountain School District #6 took that request to heart.

Medicine Hat school district increases computer access without bouncing the budget

Schools often have to find creative ways to squeeze more out of less. Medicine Hat, a school district in Alberta Canada that includes 18 schools and 6,600 students, needed to do two things: upgrade its aging fleet of computers and increase computer access in the classroom. But it was running aground on both budget and physical desk space.
