Mae L. Feaster Charter School (FCS), situated in a diverse community, is committed to providing essential academic, social, and career-building skills to its K-8 students. As a Title 1 school, FCS serves a diverse student body with a strong commitment to equity and inclusivity. With 60% of students being English language learners, the school’s Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP) provides afterschool and summer programs focused on academic support, social-emotional learning, esports, and career technical education (CTE), helping students build the skills needed for future success.
FCS faced major challenges in acquiring high-performance products for demanding applications like CAD software for engineering and design. Additionally, they had to contend with lengthy approval processes from the San Diego County of Education and district IT directors. To address these issues, FCS turned to MSI, selecting it over competitors like Alienware, ASUS, and Acer for its outstanding performance, cost-effectiveness, and immediate availability. MSI’s prime laptops and OLED monitors perfectly aligned with the school’s needs.
MSI Titan laptops, known for their high performance, were ideal for running heavy esports games or applications such as 3D modeling and programming. Meanwhile, the OLED monitors, with their superior color accuracy and 240Hz refresh rate, enhanced the learning experience in engineering and design classes by providing clearer, more detailed visuals. This integration of MSI products led to a significant improvement in instructional quality, with students benefiting from faster processing and clearer visuals, creating a more immersive and effective learning environment.
MSI’s cost-effective solutions enabled the school to maximize its technology budget while still providing high-quality hardware. This affordability was particularly beneficial given the financial challenges faced by many students. Roel Mislan, ELOP Coordinator and Technology Manager at FCS expressed his satisfaction with the partnership: “MSI’s products have been a game-changer for us. The Titan laptops and OLED monitors have truly enhanced our students’ learning experiences. The ability to process and render faster has significantly impacted our programs.”
FCS plans to expand its use of MSI products across its growing CTE program and other educational settings. The flexibility and performance of MSI’s products will be key to supporting the school’s future growth and initiatives.
