Welcome to the Fall 2025 edition of Sal Khan’s Quarterly Newsletter for District Leaders.
This issue marks a defining moment for Khan Academy: spreading the news of a completely reimagined Khan Academy, a total transformation of our learning platform used by school districts. Watch Sal’s informational webinar, and watch his announcement below:
After twenty years we are making it even easier for districts to increase the impact that Khan Academy has, at scale. The reimagined Khan Academy is rebuilt from the ground up for daily instruction, pairing trusted content with thoughtfully embedded AI to make teaching and learning more effective, more engaging, and more connected.
Join Sal Khan and Stacie Johnson on November 10 for a special 30-minute webinar that will walk through what’s new for the 2026–27 school year and how these updates will help districts accelerate learning with confidence.
