How CodeHS approaches AI

AI Center

How we teach with AI, how we build it into our tools, and how we keep teachers and schools in control.

Note from the CodeHS Founders

AI is changing how schools teach computer science. Our approach is to make sure our usage of AI on CodeHS supports your school and district's learning goals, and gives you control on how it is implemented.

We give teachers control over what can be used in the classroom, and give districts control over making sure AI on CodeHS conforms to their policies. In addition, we make sure to build with appropriate safeguards for school usage, and uphold privacy and security best practices.

Some of our tools help teachers like AI Grading, AI Creator and AskAI. Other tools may be available for students like AI Hints and Vibe Coding, however, any student-facing AI tool requires your teacher to enable it.

While districts have varying approaches to AI: some want to use every tool, and some want to proceed cautiously, you can configure CodeHS to match your school's approach.

We look forward to collaborating with our school and district partners to make sure we can use AI to enable the best possible student learning experiences.

Our first principle

Privacy First

Our AI tools are self-contained, and student data is not used to train the models.

AI never changes our commitment to student data privacy. CodeHS is fully COPPA-compliant, and our practices support your school's FERPA requirements.

For districts

Districts set the policy.

Districts have varying approaches to AI: some want to use every tool, and some want to proceed cautiously. Either way, you can configure CodeHS to match your district’s policies — and student-facing AI stays off until a teacher turns it on.

Nothing hidden

Transparency: where AI shows up.

We're clear about where AI is used across CodeHS. Some tools help teachers save time. Others may be available for students — and any student-facing AI tool requires a teacher to enable it.

AI Grading

Drafts grades and personalized feedback for teacher review. The teacher always makes the final call.

Our AI principles

Adopt AI without giving up control.

Teachers Stay in Control

Teachers decide what AI can be used in their classroom. Every student-facing AI tool is off until a teacher turns it on.

AI Supports Learning

Our tools help students think and learn — they don't do the work for them. Guardrails encourage real understanding.

Built for School Usage

AI features are built for K-12 classrooms with appropriate safeguards, academic integrity, and student safety in mind.
