Core Pillars

The four central principles of AI use in the educational community.

Academic Integrity

AI is a partner to co-create and learn, not to replace critical thinking. The work turned in must reflect the student's genuine effort.

Attribution & Citations

AI use must always be declared. Cite the tool, the prompt used, and what part of the work was generated or assisted by the software.

Data Privacy

Never upload confidential information, health data, private grades, or identifiable photos of the school or people to public AI platforms.

Professional Development

Use technology to enhance your skills, learn to program, debug ideas, and actively prepare for a professional and work ecosystem with AI.

Yes, the school has detection tools integrated into platforms like Google Classroom and Turnitin. However, we recognize that detectors are not infallible. The primary criterion for evaluating the integrity of a work will be the direct dialogue between the teacher and the student regarding the creation process and understanding of the assignment.
