On a paper island, a mother and her son sit together on a bench looking at three cards he holds up, a question mark, a light bulb and a check mark, while a small robot stands nearby on a tree stump.

Why these six, why now

What employers, researchers and families are already seeing.

  1. 7 in 10

    employers call analytical thinking an essential skill in 2025, and they expect 39% of today’s skills to change or become outdated by 2030.

  2. 7 in 10

    teens aged 13 to 18 in the United States have used generative AI, and 2 in 5 have used it for school assignments. Of the parents whose teen had used it, only 37% knew.

  3. 1 in 10

    Canadian 15-year-olds (11%) did not reach the baseline in creative thinking in PISA 2022, even though Canada placed second in the world, behind only Singapore.

What it looks at

Six things that matter more as AI does more.

Five capacities AI can’t exercise for your child, and a sixth every family now faces: using AI well.

Thinks critically

Why it lastsAI gives confident answers. Someone has to judge which ones hold up.

Creates

Why it lastsAI remixes what exists. New work starts with a person who sees what is missing.

Solves problems

Why it lastsReal problems arrive messy and unlabelled. Framing them is human work.

Communicates

Why it lastsTrust, persuasion and a clear explanation still happen between people.

Leads

Why it lastsTeams and communities need people who take responsibility.

Uses AI well

Why it lastsThe new literacy: knowing when to trust AI, when to check it and when to leave it out.

Going deeper

Our diagnostic sees what a checklist can’t.

This check is how you see your child. Hikmah Tutoring+ begins with a diagnostic assessment in which your child does the work: it adapts as they go and traces each gap to the skill where it begins.

Questions

What parents ask about the check.

What ages is it for?

Any child from Grade 1 to Grade 12. For younger children, answer the AI statements for any screen or tool they use.

What happens to my answers?

The scoring happens in your browser. When you ask for the full report, your answers, your results and the details you give go to Hikmah, so a mentor can walk you through them, and they are kept in Canada. We use them only to talk with you about your child, and we remove personal information within 12 months, or sooner if you ask. If the Hikmah centre sent you a link to the check, your results go to the centre, and the page says so before you start.

My child scored low in one area. Should I worry?

No. The check reflects how often you notice something today, and children change quickly. Start with this week’s ideas, and try the check again in a few months.

Can I keep a copy?

Yes. From your results, print the one-page report or save it as a PDF.

Let’s build on what you see.
