Khan Lab School
Parent: My child has been attending this wonderful school for 4 years now in the upper school, and she loves it. She’s not one to enjoy academics, preferring to spend her time more creatively, but this school respects that, helping her to get through her tough subjects at her own pace, as well as exploring the topics she does find interesting. KLS does not offer grades/GPA, so parents have to really believe in Sal Khan’s idea of mastery-based learning before applying. Further, it’s a small, new school, so direction, processes, staff and classes can change quickly as they strive to improve every year, so might be tough to adjust to. But then, KLS was agile enough to quickly pivot to remote learning when the pandemic came, and I think the same would happen with any hurdle it encountered. Lastly, what we are most impressed with, and why we return every year, is that the staff, admin, parents and students are all kind and caring people, putting the best interest of the kids in the forefront.
