What is Khan Academy?
Khan Academy is a non-profit educational platform offering thousands of free lessons, quizzes, and practice exercises across a wide variety of subjects. It’s used by students, parents, teachers, and even schools all around the world.
Why It's Fantastic for Homeschoolers:
Why It's Fantastic for Homeschoolers:
1. 100% Free and Ad-Free
No subscription, no upsell, no ads. Everything—from early math to SAT prep—is available without spending a dime.
2. Covers All Core Subjects
Khan Academy offers in-depth lessons in:
Math (from counting to calculus)
Science (biology, chemistry, physics, etc.)
Grammar and reading
History and civics
Computer programming & coding
Life skills like financial literacy and growth mindset
You can mix and match these with your own homeschool curriculum or even use Khan Academy as your main guide for certain subjects.
3. Self-Paced and Student-Led
Kids can work independently at their own pace. Each concept is taught through short, engaging videos, followed by practice questions that reinforce the lesson. It's especially helpful if you're managing multiple children at once. Set one child up with Khan while you work 1-on-1 with another.
4. Built-in Motivation and Feedback
Students earn badges and points as they complete lessons, which adds a fun, game-like layer. Parents can also track progress through a dashboard, set goals, and monitor mastery.
5. Great for All Ages
Early learners can explore basic numbers and letters.
Middle schoolers can dig into pre-algebra, grammar, and science.
High schoolers can prepare for the SAT, dive into advanced math, and study U.S. government or personal finance.
It even includes partner content from NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT.
