Mulgrave School in West Vancouver. "While
some may find it daunting or even a little
unsettling, there are many opportunities to
use AI to our advantage in support of learning
and preparation for the world after Mulgrave."
Teachers here are using AI to streamline
their day-to-day workflows, such as lesson
enhancements or developing resources
for different learners. "Ultimately, AI is
used to promote creative exploration and
thoughtful application across all grade
levels," says Teja. AI in elementary school
is teacher-driven, with educators creating
interactive experiences, such as chatbots
for younger students or a writing feedback
tool for older students. AI use for middle
and upper-year students emphasizes digital
citizenship and ethics. Students might use
AI for assignments, like a research project
with a chatbot based on historical figures, or
for independent tasks like brainstorming for
essays or developing study materials.
Teja emphasizes that transparency and
clear guidelines are essential with AI use at
Mulgrave. "The goal is to ensure AI is used
appropriately, mirroring expectations at the
university or professional level," he says. While
AI can help students feel more confident in
their knowledge, Teja notes that the goal is to
use that confidence to participate in human-
centred learning experiences.
"Young people today are faced with some
of the most complex challenges in human
history: the rise of artificial intelligence; a
global climate crisis; and economic, social
and political volatility on every continent.
With the pace of change only accelerating, the
world of work will look vastly different in the
years ahead," says Kailan Leung, Mulgrave's
Senior School vice principal. In this context,
Mulgrave is one of four schools collaborating
with the International Baccalaureate to
develop an innovative, two-year course called
Systems Transformation, where students
engage in real-world problem-solving, which
could include topics on AI. "We believe that
educational innovation is the most powerful
way in which we can equip students to
become catalysts for change and leaders in
crafting the world of tomorrow," Leung says.
