Reflecting on the first semester of launching Khan Lab School Wichita—lessons learned, challenges faced, and the exciting journey ahead!

My goal is to help them take what they excel at and apply it to all their subjects. The students and families who want that are the ones who fit this school. #klswichita#thecoolestschoolinwichita
Enrollment for 2025-2026 is open at Khan Lab School Wichita . People often ask me what kind of student fits this school. I want students who are the best at what they do—whether it’s acting, being an artist, building Legos, or playing video games.
I find it interesting that we allow standing room at conferences for adults but will punish a child for not staying in their seat in class. I’m not saying I’m right; it’s just weird to me. Khan Lab School Wichita will be a different learning experience.
Many of us had to wait until our 20s, 30s, 40s, and some are still waiting to pursue our dreams. I refuse to continue that cycle with any young person around me.
@cfsquinn Thanks! We’re launching next fall. The current model is up and running in Silicon Valley area. No my kid does go to a private school that has some traditional and non traditional approaches I’d say. I agree with your statement!
@jasonfx@JonHaidt Great question. Phone usage is a symptom of a larger problem with the system. However, for those who are stuck within the system, we are doing our best. The best, right now, is phone bans. Is it ideal? No. But nor is the traditional education system. The system needs an overhaul.

@rebelEducator Traditional education is about focusing on the child's weaknesses. Failing math? Let's get you a tutor and spend a few hours a week getting your math grade up. Focusing on strengths allows the child to gain confidence and figure out what they want to do with their life.
@HannahFrankman Public schools offer valuable social experiences and diverse perspectives. Dismissing traditional education entirely may overlook important aspects of well-rounded development.
