Mountain View CA United States Khan Lab School Full time

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COLLEGE COUNSELING

Khan Lab School, founded by Sal Khan in 2014, is an innovative K-12 independent school with two campuses serving over 260 students in Silicon Valley. Our Lower School (K-6) is located in Palo Alto, and our Upper School (7-12) is in Mountain View, California. We were established to test and refine the educational vision outlined in Sal Khan's 2012 book, "The One World Schoolhouse," which explores the development of modern education, the origins of Khan Academy, and a forward-thinking approach to both in-person and online learning.

Building on this foundation, Sal Khan's latest book, "Brave New Words," further expands on his educational philosophy and vision for the future. At Khan Lab School, we're committed to implementing these innovative ideas and preparing students for success in the rapidly evolving knowledge economy.
