ATLIS AI Summer Workshop: Where Vision Becomes Action

This hands-on series is for schools ready to move from ideas to implementation.

Now in its third year, this highly popular summer workshop explores how independent schools are finding a thoughtful balance in their use of AI.

As AI becomes part of school life, leaders are asking more nuanced questions. How do we balance innovation with ethics? Efficiency with human judgment? Technical skill-building with student wellness? STEM applications with the humanities, arts, and broader academic life?

This year’s series will focus on what balanced AI implementation looks like in practice. Sessions will highlight real examples from independent schools as they design courses, build guardrails, respond to emerging risks, support faculty, and engage families in meaningful conversations.

Across the four sessions, we’ll explore:

Balanced AI integration across the curriculum
How schools are incorporating AI into different content areas, including science, humanities, arts, and interdisciplinary learning.

Ethical and responsible AI use
How schools are setting expectations, addressing deepfakes and emerging risks, and helping students make informed choices.

Practical AI use for faculty and leaders
How AI agents and other tools can support school operations, teaching, planning, and professional work while keeping human expertise at the center.

Student wellness, screen time, and digital habits
How schools are thinking about AI alongside broader concerns about attention, wellbeing, and healthy technology use.

Environmental impact and sustainability
How schools can help students and adults understand the energy, infrastructure, and environmental questions connected to AI.

These topics are grounded in real examples from independent schools across the country, including work being done at Menlo School, McDonogh School, The Windward School, and Miss Porter’s School, along with perspectives from Evan Harris of Pathos Consulting and Dino Ambrosi of Project Reboot.

Sessions are discussion-based and practical. Participants will leave with ideas, examples, and strategies they can adapt to their own school communities.
