What is Magic School AI?

May 6, 2024

Magic School AI is an AI-powered platform designed specifically for educators and students. It offers a wide range of tools aimed at reducing the workload of teachers and improving education.

Some of the key features of Magic School AI include the ability to generate lesson plans, assessments, and individualized education programs (IEPs), as well as tools for delivering tailored instruction and communicating with students and families. These tools are designed to save educators time — reportedly up to 10 hours per week — allowing them to focus more on direct student interaction and less on administrative tasks.

The platform has been well received, trusted by over 3,000 school and district partners globally, and is used by more than two million educators. It emphasizes easy integration with existing systems like Google Classroom and Microsoft applications, and prioritizes safety and privacy, complying with FERPA and state privacy laws to protect student and staff information.

Magic School AI has recently introduced Magic School for Students, or MagicStudent, which aims to build AI literacy among students. This component of the platform teaches responsible AI usage and aims to make generative AI a natural part of the educational toolkit.

Educators and administrators have praised the platform for its utility and ease of use, noting that it supports personalized and differentiated instruction and helps in managing the diverse needs of students.
