York School recognizes the potential benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in supporting employee productivity and the student experience. While considering these tools for use, we must stay aligned to our mission statement: We inspire and prepare a diverse community of creative, independent thinkers. As a school that prides itself on its students being seen and known, we use AI platforms with a human-centered approach, safe practice, and defined purpose, ensuring that our technology serves to support our thinking, not replace it. We also respect the choice of employees and students to opt out of using AI tools and platforms.
