ABOUT KHAN LAB SCHOOL

In 2012, Sal Khan wrote _The One World Schoolhouse_, in which he outlines how modern education developed and how Khan Academy came to be.

But, most importantly, the book outlines a vision for the future of both in-person and online education given the tools we have and the need for many more people to participate in the knowledge economy.

In 2014, He founded Khan Lab School (KLS) to test and refine these ideas in an actual school setting. Today, KLS is a K-12 school located on two campuses serving over 280 students in Silicon Valley.


Our approach at KLS is centered on the learner, with a strong focus on student agency, flexibility, personalization and mastery
. Emphasis is also placed on well-being and essential content knowledge, as well as opportunities for students and teachers to learn from, and teach, each other.

The KLS learning environment is not limited by time or location, blurs arbitrary educational boundaries between middle and high school and high school and college, and leverages online tools for experiential learning.

KLS aims to create affordable and replicable models that avoid inefficiencies and complexities in both school and learning design.
