Software for Home

Adobe for Home and School

Overview

We use Adobe Creative Cloud products at the school for both administrative and academic work; these tools include Acrobat, Photoshop, Premier and others. In the past, these programs were licensed based on a serial number and they were restricted to school devices.

With changes to Adobe licensing, we are now deploying a more flexible per-user model. This means that you can use Adobe Creative Cloud products on both school and personal devices -- as long as you are logged-in with your school account. Students will have the same flexibility, which means that they will be able to use Adobe software as a tool both at school and at home.

Getting Started

You will receive an email message indicating that you have been granted access to Adobe Creative Cloud. Once you have received this email, log-in to Creative Cloud.

  • Go to Launchpad on your school computer (MacOS) and open Creative Cloud or if you are on your personal device, you can download it from here.
  • You will be asked to Log-in. Select "Enterprise ID." Avoid the Google and Facebook logos!


  • Enter your email address in the "Email address" box
  • As soon as you click outside the box, you will be redirected to a Google login page. Enter your school username and password.
  • You will then be logged-in. This licenses you to use the Adobe products installed on your computer, and to install additional Adobe products.


Microsoft for Home and School

Overview

We use Microsoft products at the school for both administrative and academic work; these tools include Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint. We currently do not use or support Microsoft 0365 use. Instead, we provide access to this software for staff to download onto personal devices.

Getting Started

Sign into the Apple App Store with your Apple ID and install the Microsoft Office Applications on your computer. Note that on school computers, Office will be installed by default.

Sign into the Applications with your school credentials.
