Context

King's College School in Nassau — a private K-12 school in the UK-based Inspired Education Group — piloted 'Inspired AI', a proprietary adaptive-learning platform, during the 2022-23 school year at its newly opened $50 million campus serving around 500 students. The platform runs diagnostic assessments, then generates personalised learning pathways and homework across English, Maths and Science, with real-time analytics fed back to teachers and parents; Years 4-6 (ages 8-11) used it in everyday teaching.

Results

Inspired Education reported a 9.2-percentage-point increase in student academic performance at King's College, with subject-level gains of +10.6 points in Biology and +9.4 in Chemistry, as part of a wider network study spanning over 14,000 students across 26 schools in 12 countries.

Conclusions

The reported figures and study design originate from the platform's own vendor and were reported largely uncritically by local press, with no independent third-party evaluation found; King's College is a fee-paying international school, not representative of the Bahamian public education system.
