Artificial Intelligence in Education
Our Community Values

We believe that trust and honesty are essential to a healthy learning community. 

Clear acknowledgment and shared guidelines about how we use AI foster integrity, build character, ensure equity, and model responsible participation in a world increasingly shaped by AI. 

We commit to making our AI use visible and understandable across the community.

We believe learning involves purposeful challenge.

Members of our community use AI to deepen thinking, not to dodge it, and never to remove the productive struggle that helps learning take root. When goals and expectations are clear, AI can extend curiosity, support practice, deepen thinking, and enrich feedback while keeping the real work of learning in our hands.

We commit to using AI in ways that strengthen, rather than undermine, meaningful effort and the learning process.

We believe that students are developing essential capacities in critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.

AI use should be guided by knowledgeable adults and should grow in step with students’ developing capacities. 

We commit to cultivating AI literacy in developmentally appropriate ways for students.

We believe that caring for our community requires vigilance.

We must exercise discernment about what data we share and how it may be used, remembering that technological convenience never outweighs human responsibility. 

We commit to using AI in ways that uphold confidentiality, safeguard personal data, and honor the trust placed in us by students, families, and colleagues.

We believe that personal connections are the foundation of a caring and supportive community.

AI use should always begin from, return to, and be guided by the human person. 

We commit to using AI in the service of our community of care and never as a substitute for genuine human oversight, presence, and relationship.
