In the Age of AI, New School Models are Writing Their Own Rules

“One reason today’s emerging schools are able to navigate artificial intelligence in creative ways is their agility. Unburdened by the bureaucratic constraints and curriculum pressures that many educators in traditional schools encounter, new school founders are able to respond quickly to the needs and interests of their students and families and pivot as needed. If a new AI tool seems promising, they can adopt it quickly without waiting for permission. Similarly, if it’s not adding value, they can drop it. As AI tools evolve at a rapid pace, smaller, more flexible learning environments are well-positioned to test new approaches, develop school-based expectations for responsible use, and adjust as needed.” (02/20/26)
