Little London International Academy is integrating the study of artificial intelligence into its educational offering for the second consecutive year, through a programme delivered to 9th, 10th and 11th grade students. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the module, which runs from October to November, students explore topics such as the responsible use of AI, fact-checking, manipulation, and the impact of technology on society. Little London is a private educational institution that values the Romanian education system and is implementing, starting this autumn, the pilot programme of the Ministry of Education regarding alternative curriculum frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the results achieved in the previous year, the school\u2019s management decided to continue the study of artificial intelligence in the 2026\u20132027 academic year. Beyond acquiring theoretical knowledge, the module also includes guest speakers from the technology industry, who meet with students to discuss real-world applications of AI, as well as a psychologist who provides a perspective on the impact of technology on behaviour, attention and decision-making. At the end of the module, students present a project to professionals from outside the school as part of a competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe one of the most important outcomes is the change in the way students relate to artificial intelligence. They use these tools anyway, and we cannot ignore that reality. However, once they begin to understand how they work, they become much more attentive to the answers they receive and more aware of the responsibility they have. Ultimately, we are not trying to prepare students only for the AI tools that exist today, because these are changing very quickly. We are trying to prepare them for a world in which artificial intelligence will be present almost everywhere, and in which the difference will be made by their ability to think critically when using it,\u201d said Andreea Dinu, Romanian Language and Literature teacher at Little London.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussions about the responsible use of artificial intelligence have also been integrated by the school at primary and lower secondary levels. At the same time, teachers use AI tools to diversify teaching methods, generate exercises, or provide new perspectives on the topics being discussed. Artificial intelligence is therefore viewed as a tool for support and reinforcement, rather than as a mechanism that replaces intellectual effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers are also facing new challenges, such as distinguishing between texts written by students and those generated by AI. In this context, homework has been given less weight in assessment, with greater emphasis placed on assessing the skills demonstrated throughout the educational process rather than on a final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have increasingly encountered situations in which students use artificial intelligence to complete their homework. In order to assess more accurately what they know and what they are able to do, we ask them, for example, to write certain texts in class. At the same time, we go over some of the homework exercises together, in order to reinforce the content and check their understanding. Recently, we have chosen not to grade homework, precisely to reduce the risk of it being completed with the help of AI,\u201d stated Adelina Ro\u0219cule\u021b, English teacher at Little London.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another observation made by teachers, based on their classroom experience, is that students need guidance when it comes to the boundaries of using artificial intelligence, and that as this technology develops, the importance of the mentoring role they play is also increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can say that we are living through a period in which we are witnessing a reconstruction of the education system and, implicitly, of the teacher\u2019s role. The teacher is no longer merely a provider of information, but must become a mentor, the adult who supports the development of critical thinking. In a world where so much diverse information is just one click away, the teacher must build in students a reflex, a set of key questions through which they can verify all the information they take from the internet. At the same time, all our students are encouraged to distinguish between using AI tools to improve their academic journey and using them simply to make their work easier,\u201d said Diana Negoi\u021b\u0103, History teacher at Little London.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artificial intelligence module introduced by Little London is part of a three-stage educational structure, which also includes Entrepreneurship and Financial Education (Module II), Critical Thinking and Personal Branding (Module III). Through these three areas, teachers aim to shape the profile of a student who is able to understand the world around them and make informed decisions. The activities connect knowledge acquired in the classroom with real-life situations, encouraging students to use technology responsibly, turn ideas into projects, and critically analyse information. The emphasis is placed on developing autonomy and the ability to support their own choices with sound arguments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Little London International Academy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 2003, Little London International Academy is an accredited, officially recognised private educational institution that offers a complete educational cycle, from nursery to high school, a national curriculum with an extended English language learning programme, as well as an internationally accredited component at nursery and primary school level \u2013 the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with the investment fund Morphosis Capital, Little London International Academy is further advancing its educational innovation strategy through the implementation of a pilot programme for the 12th-grade students, starting with the 2025-2026 academic year. The initiative focuses on greater curriculum flexibility and a deeper focus on subjects relevant to the Baccalaureate examination and university admissions in Romania and abroad. From the 2026-2027 academic year, the school will continue this development process by piloting the new framework curriculum for the high school cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
