Knowledge, Learning, Community

It's a long way from those first heady days of free Khan Academy math and physics lessons on YouTube. Khan World School is partnering with ASU to offer an online school experience for a reported fee of $US 12,900 per year. "Each day will include a seminar where small student peer groups will have the opportunity to interact online and actively dive deep into society's most challenging questions with support from mentors and world-class learning guides." Nice, but school should be for everyone, not just those who can pay. Khan has raised more that $16 million in grants and investments over the years.
