This framework guides the formation of students as ethical, effective, and imaginative AI users through the lens of Jesuit education’s Profile of the Graduate at Graduation. It bridges academic rigor, spiritual depth, and technological fluency to ensure students learn to use AI tools not just effectively, but purposefully, justly, and humanely as they prepare for the world beyond high school.

The Graduate at Graduation profile describes the ideal characteristics of a student shaped by Jesuit education. By the time of graduation, students strive to be Open to Growth, Intellectually Competent, Religious, Loving, and Committed to Doing Justice.
- Open To Growth: Forming Reflective and Adaptive AI Users
AI Literacy Outcomes
AI Literacy Outcomes
Students learn to engage with AI not as a shortcut, but as a tool for creativity, iteration, and self-awareness. This includes learning about when you should not lean on AI.
They explore the tension between convenience and authenticity in their use of AI.
They apply the CTN Prompt Writing Framework to refine their ability to think clearly, ask well, and adjust effectively.
Practices
Practices
AI Citations & Reflection: Students cite and critique their use of AI after assignments.
Guided Experimentation: Students complete teacher-designed AI activities, learn to interact effectively with chatbots, and explore what individualized learning is possible through these lessons.
2. Intellectually Competent: Developing Critical AI Foundations and Skills
2. Intellectually Competent: Developing Critical AI Foundations and Skills
AI Literacy Outcomes
AI Literacy Outcomes
Students gain a basic understanding of how machine learning and large language models work, and assess the reliability, tone, and bias of AI responses.
They learn to distinguish between assistive AI (Levels 1–2) and generative AI (Level 3), citing AI use appropriately and collaborating transparently.
They integrate AI into research, composition, design, and problem-solving across the curriculum.
Practices
Practices
AI-enhanced projects: Students simulate historical debates with AI, locate primary sources, generate scientific analysis, or design solutions to real-world problems.
Prompt Workshops using CTN to sharpen communication and thinking. Introductory lessons on Large Language Model tools.
3. Religious: Grounding AI Use in Faith, Conscience, and Catholic Mission
3. Religious: Grounding AI Use in Faith, Conscience, and Catholic Mission
AI Literacy Outcomes
Students see AI not as morally neutral, but as a technology requiring conscience, intention, human oversight, and ethical usage, and that AI systems are created by people and companies whose values, incentives, and biases shape how these tools function and what data they are trained on.
They recognize their role as co-creators—responsible for ensuring that technology serves life, community, and dignity rather than mere efficiency.
Students prioritize and value engagement and connection with God and their fellow human beings over engagement with AI.
Practices
Religious Studies Units: Topics include official Church guidance on AI, exploration of human conscience and moral agency with AI.
AI Reflections: Students consider current and future AI impact on academic and professional work, research, communication, and future careers through an ethical lens and based on Catholic Social Teaching.
Digital Examen: Moments of spiritual reflection on daily AI use and its impact on self and others. This can include an “AI fast” for all work other than what is required for classes as a foundation for reflection.
4. Loving: Fostering and Prioritizing Human Connection Amidst Digital Tools
4. Loving: Fostering and Prioritizing Human Connection Amidst Digital Tools
AI Literacy Outcomes
Students reflect on AI's impact on communication, relationships, and emotional health.
They study how AI systems can reinforce or dismantle bias and injustice, particularly around race, gender, and access.
Students practice digital citizenship and AI usage that represents their best, most authentic selves.
Practices
Community building: Observe where AI fosters collaboration and builds capacity for community, identifying areas where it does not.
Media literacy units: Analyzing how algorithms shape bias, beauty standards, or misinformation.
Digital Character Formation: Students practice writing prompts with respect, clarity, and kindness, understanding that how we communicate with AI reflects and shapes who we are becoming. They learn that language choices matter—digitally and personally—and commit to using language with AI that reflects their values and the person they aspire to be.
Human v. Machine dialogues: Classroom debates on emotional intelligence vs. artificial intelligence, and how AI can ethically be applied to specific courses.
5. Committed to Doing Justice: Advocating for Ethical AI Tools and Access in Society
5. Committed to Doing Justice: Advocating for Ethical AI Tools and Access in Society
AI Literacy Outcomes
Students explore and critically assess how AI affects labor, education, surveillance, ecology, and inequality, especially in light of Catholic Social Teaching.
Students advocate for transparent, accessible, and equitable AI systems and usage in educational, civic and personal contexts, and advocate against AI systems that violate these principles.
Practices
AI Justice Projects: Students propose policies or innovations that use AI for the benefit of humanity–e.g., environmental justice, anti-racism, or refugee support–or propose policies to better regulate or restrict AI where its use is causing harm.
Policy Debates: Students debate AI practices and policies. They act as AI ethics boards or community advocates debating real-world cases.
