Tell the truth shame the devil.

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

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.

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

I’m thankful for all of you.

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

I think where folks screw it up in parenting, teaching, or dealing with you in any capacity is they forget what it’s like to be a kid.

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

I finally figured it out. There’s teachers and then there’s babysitters. You know which one won’t be at #klswichita

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

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.

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

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.

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

Come work with me!

Never a bad day for Shocker Basketball! I have a beanie too but my kid had it last so yall know how that goes. 🤦🏾‍♂️ 🌾 🏀 #goshox

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

@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!

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

My kid uses her phone once she’s done with assignments and has free time. It’s great!

[Chris Quinn @cfsquinn]

@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.

Love this! 👏🏾 more more more

Let’s focus more on strengths and personal interests!

[Keep It Moving 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ @Hello839fdjfk89]

@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.

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

Lots of dialogue around this topic 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Kieran Brown @kieranbrownio]

@ItsAngelDj Traditional education will make you a living, self education will make you a fortune

[Kyle Ellison @mrkyleellison]

This is true.

[Gaurav Tiwari @gauravtiwarii01]

@HannahFrankman Public schools offer valuable social experiences and diverse perspectives. Dismissing traditional education entirely may overlook important aspects of well-rounded development.

I’m tired of people pretending education should be one-sized fits all. Am I the only one!?
