Academics
At Khan Lab School Wichita, every student moves through coursework at their own pace, guided by mastery. Below is a look at what that means for Middle and Upper School students. For a detailed look at how the year unfolds, visit our Academic Calendar. For the full course list, see the Enrollment Guide.
Middle School Academics
Middle school academics go beyond the core subjects. Students choose electives in critical thinking, coding, game design, digital art, health science, and photography, building both foundational skills and personal interests.
