Case Study: The York School achieves student-centered AI learning with Flint

How The York School used Flint to embrace student-centered AI use

The York School, a K-12 independent school in Toronto, faced the challenge of integrating AI into education safely after students began using tools like ChatGPT. They needed a solution that would allow teachers and students to experiment with AI together while maintaining strict data privacy and providing oversight of student use. This led them to partner with the vendor Flint.

Flint provided a secure, walled-garden AI platform that put the student experience at the center. The solution gave teachers control to create and test AI assignments while gaining visibility into all student interactions. As a result, The York School saw over 3,800 AI tutoring sessions, a significant increase in student engagement, and more insightful conversations about learning objectives. Flint enabled immediate, qualitative feedback that students used to quickly improve their work.
