Khan Academy is collaborating with State Departments of Education across the U.S. to promote AI equity for all students. We are honored to work alongside state leaders in New Hampshire, Ohio, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arizona to enable a wider reach for AI readiness, ensuring more students gain access to AI literacy and tools.
Get in touchOur partnership with the Arizona Department of Education offers free access to Khan Academy’s cutting-edge AI platform, Khanmigo, for a limited number of districts in grades 5-12 statewide through school year 2025-2026. We’re grateful to partner with State Superintendent Tom Horne who shared with Peoria Times in early November that “we did a lot of research, and we concluded that Khanmigo was by far the best application of AI to the classroom…It doesn’t substitute the teacher; it helps the teacher. There’s no substitute for personal instruction, teacher to student, but it gives the teacher the equivalent of two assistants to do the grunt work so teachers can focus on creative work.”
