1. Learning is not confined to traditional semesters. Finishing a subject early allows immediate advancement to the next.
2. All students are encouraged to meet “mastery” in their subject area before moving on. Students can also go back to demonstrate deeper levels of mastery (e.g., changing a C to a B).
3. We prioritize feedback over a letter grade, though final grades are provided for college admissions. KWS students value intrinsic motivation for learning. We believe that all our students at Khan World School can achieve mastery of all their subjects.
4. Nos aseguraremos de que tengas un expediente académico con las notas finales que te preparará para las admisiones universitarias y las becas.
5. Student progress is measured by a zero-based grading module where students start at zero and their percentage increases as they progress.
6. There are no due dates, but a suggested pacing guide is provided to maintain a healthy pace toward graduation.

No. Khan World School is a full-time online school with its own curriculum, live seminars and personalized guidance.

We use a variety of curriculums such as Khan Academy to best serve our students who remain in the driver’s seat and excel at their own readiness.

Todos los alumnos de secundaria cursarán una asignatura denominada Seminario. En secundaria, los debates tipo seminario se celebran durante sesiones presenciales en las áreas de contenido.

Además del Seminario, los estudiantes forman parte de comunidades de aprendizaje, incluyendo una Casa formada por 15-20 estudiantes y una Cuadrilla de 4-8 estudiantes. Nuestra comunidad de aprendizaje es una parte importante del modelo Khan World School.

Imagine a schedule that is more like an adult remote worker rather than the traditional school bell schedule. Your personal calendar tool will help you stay organized. Guides will work with you to set up a plan that fits your schedule and time zone. 

Each day, there is a minimum live component lasting about an hour.

While you will have an assigned live tutorial or Seminar time each day that meets your schedule, your Guide will work with you to ensure the time is a good fit and to plan for any days you may have a conflict.

We expect to have students in many time zones, so synchronous activities such as seminars and small-group meetings will be scheduled accordingly. Students in similar or nearby time zones will be paired together to make these offerings convenient for all students, but we will also ensure they can collaborate with students across the country whenever possible.

We do our best to offer live tutorials and seminars during a variety of time zones to meet the needs of all students. Typical offerings are between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Arizona time (PST/MST), which are subject to change. Conversations about scheduling happen during course selection conferences after admissions.

We love to see Khan World School parents and families because we know they play an essential role in the success of our students. You will not be required to instruct your child, but we encourage you to take an active role in their education and learning. We look forward to ideas that parents have around getting involved too. We want to get to know you and build a strong community of parents and caregivers.

There will be start and end dates with breaks for students in fall, winter and spring and planned summers off. Also, in KWS, we recognize that learning is not confined to semesters like in a traditional school, so students may finish more quickly and begin new courses if they choose.

KWS aprovechará los servicios sociales y emocionales establecidos ofrecidos a través de ASU Prep Digital. KWS evaluará un 504 o IEP para ver si KWS será un buen ajuste para un estudiante.

For high school-level courses, lab work and hands-on science experiments will meet Arizona A-G and our accreditation standards. We will pair both at-home experiments with virtual labs.

Students will also have the opportunity to take university-level science courses that meet accreditation standards for higher education. An additional lab fee for high school science courses is required.

Eligible students may earn college credit while enrolled, allowing them to experience college-level coursework during high school. Tuition covers two university courses per semester, and students can access additional courses for a small fee.
