  • AI & Your Child: What Every DA Family Should Know

    AI is already changing how students learn, create, communicate, and prepare for college, work, and life. For families, the essential questions are not simply whether students use AI, but when it helps them learn, when it gets in the way, and how schools protect critical thinking, independence, academic integrity, and authentic student voice. 

    On Tuesday, Oct. 27, DAPA invites parents, guardians, and members of the DA community to join Head of School Mark Twarogowski and DA parent Tal Goldhamer, an AI educator who works with leaders across business, government, higher education, and the nonprofit sector, for a candid and practical conversation about what AI means for Denver Academy students.
