Dear Families,

Khan Academy is thrilled to announce the 3rd Annual US National Khanathalon! Your child’s school will be participating in this Khanathalon from Dec 2 - Jan 17, 2025. This exciting nationwide contest challenges students to level up their skills in key areas like math, Digital SAT prep, financial literacy, and Constitution 101. They’ll be competing with schools across the country, making it a thrilling opportunity to not only build proficiency but also showcase their knowledge on a national stage. By engaging with Khan Academy’s personalized learning tools, including the powerful Khanmigo AI assistant, students can strive for mastery while having fun. Whether they’re solving complex equations, preparing for college entrance exams, understanding personal finance, or diving into the foundations of democracy, your student is sure to grow and thrive in this academic adventure!

Here is more information on how you can support your student.

What is the Khanathalon?

The school with the highest percentage of skills leveled up to ‘Proficient’ or ‘Mastered’ in the courses below will take home the trophy. They must work on a minimum of 2 skills per week and have at least 25 students per school working on the course. The challenges this year available for schools are:

● Math Maestros - grade level mathematics

● Money Masters - Financial Literacy

● Civic Scholars - Constitution 101

We will have an additional category this year - AI Explorers. In this category, the DISTRICTS will compete for the highest percentage of students actively using Khanmigo for the week. Ties will be broken by the highest percentage of teachers using Khanmigo for the week.

How can I help my child?

● Ask your child what they are learning, how they like to learn, and when.

● Discuss and celebrate your child’s progress - have they mastered a new topic recently?
