Students receive structured preparation in:

Artificial Intelligence Education at SFAMSC

As part of our future-ready curriculum, SFAMSC integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy into intermediate Grade School and Junior High School learning.

Students are taught:

• how Artificial Intelligence works

• how AI tools support learning

• responsible and ethical use of AI

• risks and limitations of AI technology

• critical thinking when using AI-assisted tools

At SFAMSC, we recognize that Artificial Intelligence is changing the way students learn. That is why we not only teach students about AI—we also adapt our teaching methods to ensure they support learning without replacing essential academic skills.

As more students begin relying on AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini for homework, essays, and projects, we take steps to preserve authentic learning and accurate assessment. For example, students may be required to complete certain writing tasks on campus so teachers can genuinely evaluate their writing ability, critical thinking, and individual voice.

At SFAMSC, we teach students to use AI responsibly, ethically, and wisely while continuing to strengthen the independent thinking and communication skills they need for the future.

This prepares students to become responsible, thoughtful, and capable learners in an increasingly AI-driven world.

SFAMSC provides tutorial and remedial programs to support students who need additional academic reinforcement.

These programs help strengthen:

• reading comprehension

• writing skills

• mathematics foundations

• study habits

• confidence in learning

Support is tailored to help each student succeed.

Learning at SFAMSC continues beyond the classroom through:

• student leadership opportunities

• community-building activities

• leadership skills
