How do I prepare my child for the Khan Lab School interview?

The interview helps the school understand how your child learns and thinks. It’s not just about grades—it’s about curiosity, problem-solving, and independence. To prepare, talk to your child about their interests, favorite projects, and how they tackle challenges. They should feel comfortable explaining what excites them about learning and how they work on projects. Unlike a typical test, this interview is more like a conversation. Parents may also be interviewed about their child’s education style. The best way to prepare is through casual discussions at home. Let your child know it’s okay to be themselves—the school values creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to explore new ideas.
