At MagicSchool, we believe educators are the magic—not the AI. Our mission has always been to empower teachers, reduce burnout, and elevate classroom instruction through thoughtfully designed, educator-centered AI tools. As AI becomes more prevalent in schools, we also believe it’s our responsibility to ensure this technology is developed and deployed with integrity, transparency, and care.
We’re proud to share how MagicSchool is leading the way in building safe, equitable, and responsible AI for K–12 education.
Built-in safeguards from the start
We design every tool on our platform with the realities of real classrooms in mind. That means prioritizing student safety, educator agency, and ethical use at every step:
Clear terms and best practices: Every educator who uses MagicSchool agrees not to input student names or personal information into any prompts. This foundational guideline helps prevent misuse and reduces the risk of unintended bias or privacy concerns.
On-screen guidance and bias warnings: We embed reminders throughout our platform encouraging users to critically review AI outputs for bias, accuracy, and appropriateness—especially in tools that could impact student support.
Professional learning and resources: MagicSchool offers ongoing, free professional development and help center resources to support teachers in using AI thoughtfully. Our courses cover AI ethics, prompt engineering, bias awareness, and real-world classroom scenarios.
Designed for equity, evaluated for fairness
Responsible AI means constantly improving—and never assuming our work is done. We rigorously test our tools to ensure they reflect our values of equity, fairness, and inclusion:
- Human and automated bias monitoring: We continuously evaluate MagicSchool outputs through both expert review and automated testing to identify and correct potential patterns of unfairness or harm.
- Real-time quality control: We use an internally built proprietary evaluations platform that allows us to flag, investigate, and improve outputs quickly—especially in high-stakes tools like our Behavior Intervention Suggestions or IEP generators.
- Friction where it matters: In tools that generate sensitive student plans or interventions, we intentionally add speed bumps—prompts, disclaimers, and review steps—to make sure educators pause, reflect, and apply professional judgment.
Powered by multiple models for better safety and quality
MagicSchool is not locked into any one AI provider. Instead, we use a multi-model infrastructure that allows us to route prompts through the models that best serve educational needs. This flexibility lets us:
- Improve output quality: By selecting the most accurate and relevant models for different use cases.
- Mitigate bias more effectively: If one model shows undesirable patterns, we can switch or tune accordingly.
- Stay agile: We’re always testing new models, providers, and techniques to keep raising the bar for safety and performance.
Teachers at the center
We fundamentally believe AI should never replace educators—it should support them. That’s why every feature we build keeps teachers in control:
- Tools are opt-in, not auto-run.
- Educators set the context and choose how to use outputs.
- We design to amplify teacher expertise, not automate away judgment.
By freeing up time on administrative tasks, differentiating lessons more easily, and supporting planning, MagicSchool gives teachers back what matters most: time with students.
The road ahead
We know that AI in education is still new—and that trust is earned through action, not promises. That’s why we’re committed to:
- Expanding our test suite with diverse, representative prompts.
- Improving transparency about how our tools work and are evaluated.
- Engaging with educators and experts to guide responsible innovation.
We believe every student deserves a fair, high-quality education, and every teacher deserves tools they can trust. MagicSchool is here to make that vision real.

Because teachers are magic. And we’ll always build like it.
