- Overview
-
Khan Academy is a free nonprofit learning platform with videos, articles, exercises, courses, and teacher assignment tools. It is designed primarily for learners from elementary grades through college-level work, with strongest K–12 use in mathematics and test preparation, with students, teachers, tutors, and families using it to support standards-aligned explanations, guided practice, mastery learning, and independent study.
Students learn or review concepts at their own pace while teachers assign skills and inspect progress; Khan Academy can supplement instruction but does not itself provide local pedagogy or intervention staffing. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.

How it supports learning- Students learn or review concepts at their own pace while teachers assign skills and inspect progress; Khan Academy can supplement instruction but does not itself provide local pedagogy or intervention staffing.
- Teachers should use the product within a defined instructional model rather than treat activity completion as evidence of learning.
Implementation and instructional decisions- Select courses deliberately by grade and standards; open access does not eliminate the need for curriculum alignment, accessibility review, and teacher monitoring.
- Districts should confirm accessibility, language support, student-data practices, assignment workflow, reporting, and the role of teacher judgment.
