Khan Lab School Khan Lab School (KLS) was founded in 2014 as a Lab School for Khan Academy. The mission of the school is to develop fully empowered future citizens by pioneering models that put the learner at the center of the education background. It aims to develop and test new types of learning experiences that will empower students to develop independent thought, entrepreneurship, self-direction and collaborative capabilities, in addition to mastery of core skills. These experiences both leverage existing Khan Academy tools as much as possible, and inform the creation of future Khan Academy tools for millions of learners. KLS currently serves approx 140 students ranging from 5 to 15 yrs old. In keeping with Sal Khan’s The 1 World Schoolhouse philosophy, the school is a full-year, full-day, multi-age program with a collaborative, project-based learning approach. There is no traditional homework, grade levels or grades as the school is mastery-based.
