Khan Academy launches Khan World School online high school

My elegant professor says this is interesting.

Khan World School @ ASU Prep
Program Launches August 2022!
Students work together solving real-world problems in a unique online school model that rewards curiosity, empowers agency and provides them with the skills and confidence needed to excel in college and careers. Students master core knowledge and dive deeply into society’s most challenging problems with support from peers and world-class learning guides.

“Khan World School at ASU Prep will unleash the potential of a new generation of students that will change the world we live in for the better. We do this by maximizing opportunities for student mastery, agency, collaboration and passion. A LOT of the thought went into translating the vision from my book The One World Schoolhouse into a comprehensive and engaging high school model. I encourage you to explore this website and attend a virtual info session to decide whether you might be a fit.”

– Sal Khan, Founder Khan Academy

We are excited to partner with the Khan team on this innovative new model. This fits perfectly with ASU’s efforts to advance a student-centric, adaptive design that is nimble and responsive to the needs of learners and the imaginations of faculty and leadership.

– Michael Crow, ASU President
