AI Literacy in Middle and High School at AGIS

Particular attention is given to:

• - transparency in the use of AI;
• - responsibility for outcomes;
• - the development of independent thinking.

Students learn to:

• - understand how AI-generated results are formed;
• - formulate accurate and effective prompts;
• - critically evaluate AI responses, identifying errors, distortions, and bias;
• - work with sources and verify information;
• - integrate AI into academic assignments while maintaining academic integrity;
• - use AI for analysis, idea generation, and structuring;
• - understand the limitations of AI;
• - make decisions independently rather than relying entirely on algorithms.

In this way, technology does not replace thinking — it enhances it.

In middle and high school, AI serves as a tool for learning and research. It is used as an assistant, not as a replacement for academic engagement.
AI at school is not about “generating answers,” but about developing thinking skills.

At Astana Garden International School, artificial intelligence is viewed not as a separate tool, but as an integral part of the modern educational environment. Students do not simply use technology — they learn to understand how AI works, where its limitations lie and how to apply it consciously, safely and effectively. AI literacy is becoming as fundamental a skill as reading, writing and critical thinking.

AI literacy is integrated into the academic curriculum rather than taught as a separate subject.
The AI literacy component is implemented through:

• - academic assignments involving AI tools;
• - research projects;
• - work with texts, images, and data;
• - discussions of the ethical and social aspects of AI.

Teachers guide the process, helping students not only achieve results, but also understand how those results are generated.

How AI literacy is implemented at school

The school has developed and implemented an artificial intelligence use policy for both primary and secondary school, as well as guidelines and handbooks for teachers and students. These resources ensure a unified and safe approach to AI usage and help foster a culture of responsible technology use.

The school follows clear principles regarding the use of AI:

• - AI does not replace independent work;
• - the use of AI must remain transparent;
• - students are responsible for the final outcome;
• - personal data is protected.
