MagicSchool and the new NYCPS AI guidance
In March 2026, New York City Public Schools released its foundational AI guidance — the first formal framework establishing how AI should be used across the system. The guidance centers educator authority, student safety, and alignment to district priorities.
MagicSchool was built for exactly this moment. Our tools are designed to support teachers with the use cases the guidance endorses: lesson planning, differentiation, instructional prep, and student AI literacy. Every tool operates with human oversight built in, and our ERMA approval confirms that data privacy standards are met before your school ever begins. NYCPS has defined what responsible AI looks like. We’ve been building it.

What school leaders are saying
From lesson planning to student support, hear how MagicSchool is helping NYCPS educators.
"We’ve seen such a mass exodus from the profession. We’re losing early-career teachers in under five years. Tools like MagicSchool can actually change that, because they take some of the load off teachers’ backs."
New York City Public Schools
"MagicSchool is integrated into the fabric of our school culture including lesson planning, differentiation and all of our daily tasks. Teachers are using Teacher tools to make instruction engaging and exciting."
