Mission Statement

Khan Lab School is a community of learners empowering every student to navigate their own path.

Foundational Knowledge

No gaps in one's education. The speed of learning is variable but the quality and depth of mastery is constant.

Mixed-Age Learning

Our mixed-age setting fosters collaboration and authentic relationships rather than competition. Students remain in cohort groups of mixed ages for multiple years and academic progression is decoupled from age.

Student Centered

As educators, we know when to "get out of our own way" to allow our teaching to be guided by our students' curiosity, unique talents and personal goals. Our Model places students at the center of the learning experience.

Why a Lab School

We’ve reimagined school built on the premise that every student is capable of achieving the highest standards of academics and still love learning.
