What Sets Us Apart?

Learner-Centered

At Khan Lab School, students have the space and encouragement to take control of their own learning journey. Our teacher-guides cultivate an environment that nurtures independence and curiosity. With ample time, space, and support, students are empowered to pursue authentic interests.

Active Learning

Learning happens through active engagement, and communication and collaboration are essential skills for success. We dedicate roughly half of each student’s experience to collaborative discussions, problem-solving, and real-world applications. The other half focuses on developing fluency in essential skills and content, all at a pace that suits the individual learner.

Flexible & Accelerated Pacing

Mastery of skills and content knowledge matters more than seat time. Freed from traditional pacing, our students often accelerate their learning by 1.5-2 grade levels per year and tackle college-level work as high school freshmen.

Our students are accepted and succeed at top colleges and
universities
