What is the Khan Lab School admissions process like?

The admissions process starts with an online inquiry form. Parents are encouraged to attend an open house or tour to see the school’s hands-on learning approach. Applications are usually due in mid-January and include student details, teacher recommendations, and a parent statement. After submitting, students go through an interview and an assessment to see if they’re a good fit for the self-paced, project-based curriculum. Decisions are typically announced in early March. If spots are still open, the school may accept students on a rolling basis. Since Khan Lab School values curiosity and independent thinking, applications should focus on a child’s love for learning rather than just grades or test scores.
