Cognita, a pioneering global schools group, this week launched Cognita AI – a transformative new platform that integrates cutting-edge artificial intelligence with deep educational expertise to enhance teaching and learning across its global network.
Designed to empower educators and personalise student learning at scale, Cognita AI marks a bold step in the group's mission to lead responsibly in educational innovation.
Strategic partnership with Flint
Cognita has also announced a strategic partnership with Flint, an AI-powered personalised learning tool
As part of this initiative, Cognita has also announced a strategic partnership with Flint, an AI-powered personalised learning tool built specifically for schools. Following a successful pilot in six countries, Flint is now being rolled out across all Cognita schools – reaching over 95,000 students worldwide.
Cognita AI will continue to evolve, driven by strategic partnerships, ongoing innovation, and a steadfast commitment to putting pedagogy and people first.
Strong pedagogical principles
Dr Simon Camby, Group Chief Education Officer at Cognita, said: "Cognita AI is a bold step forward in our mission to lead thoughtfully in educational technology. This is just the beginning. Grounded in strong pedagogical principles, it's designed to give teachers more time to do what they do best – inspire, guide, and connect – while enabling students to benefit from more personalised and responsive support."
"And as technology continues to evolve, so will Cognita AI – bringing fresh innovations that empower our educators and help every learner thrive in a rapidly evolving world."
Key benefits for the classroom
- High-quality, tailored learning activities created in seconds
- Adaptive resources that meet each learner's pace and style
- Instant formative feedback to accelerate growth
- Guided practice that builds confidence and responsible AI literacy
Evidence-led roll-out
Cognita took a careful approach to evaluating AI in its classrooms – starting small, studying results
In line with its commitment to making evidence-informed decisions that enhance teaching and learning, Cognita took a careful approach to evaluating AI in its classrooms – starting small, studying results, and learning from real teacher and student experiences.
Cognita's phased evaluation involved six diverse schools – spanning Spain, Mexico, Vietnam, the UAE and the UK – across subjects such as mathematics, languages and essay writing. Results showed deeper student engagement, stronger outcomes and greater capacity for teachers to personalise learning and respond to individual needs.
Thoughtful AI adoption
To ensure thoughtful and effective AI adoption, Cognita is providing:
- Bespoke professional development for teachers
- Student AI-literacy programmes that prepare learners for the future
- Family-engagement resources for transparency and trust
Cognita's leadership in embracing AI
"We couldn't be more excited to be partnering with Cognita," said Sohan Choudhury, CEO of Flint. "Through our first partnership with a Cognita school during the 2023-24 school year and the pilot earlier in 2025, we've had the opportunity to work closely with educators at a number of Cognita schools."
"We've been amazed by their commitment to personalising learning for students, as well as by the focus from Cognita's leadership on embracing AI in a way that enhances, not replaces, the teacher's role in the classroom."
