The School District of Palm Beach County is now a Khan Academy District (KAD). 

During the 2023-2024 school year, nine high schools piloted Khan Academy and Khanmigo, an AI-powered teaching assistant and personal tutor. We are excited to announce early access (as of June) to Khanmigo for all teachers and school administrators via the Khan Academy tile in the employee portal. 

All middle school and high school students will gain access to Khanmigo when returning back to school in August.


Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empowers learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. They tackle math, science, computing, history, art history, economics, and more, including K-14 and test preparation (SAT, Praxis, LSAT) content. They focus on skill mastery to help learners establish strong foundations, so there's no limit to what they can learn next!

For learners and families, Khanmigo offers engaging, on-topic, and effective learning for students, and is ethically designed with safety and learning as a top priority. Unlike other AI tools such as ChatGPT, Khanmigo doesn’t just give answers. Instead, with limitless patience, it guides learners to find the answer themselves. In addition, Khanmigo is the only AI tool that is incorporated with Khan Academy’s world-class content library that covers math, humanities, coding, social studies, and more. 

For teachers, Khanmigo is designed to make your role less about busy work. What normally takes hours can be done quickly with Khanmigo: differentiation, lesson plans, quiz questions, student groupings, hooks, exit tickets, rubrics, and more. There’s no learning curve. Start using Khanmigo’s teacher tools within minutes.
