Every curriculum has its pluses and minuses.  Khan Academy has a tremendous number of positives compared to its few negatives.  Its math module, covering Early Math to Calculus, has no equal and as you will see, the negatives are all covered by A-TeC. NOTE: Khan Academy is not a Religious Academic Institution, therefore your student may be exposed to certain secular concepts, such as same gender marriage (we are only aware of one instance of this in a grammar lesson, but it was 3rd hand and none of our students have seen this).  Please inform your student that if they read anything that sounds weird they should bring it to your attention.  Please also be aware that if you are in a Common Core State with standardized testing, your student could be exposed to such concepts during testing; so, it would be much easier to proactively deal with the subject at home, first.

Your child's birthday is needed to determine permissions available.  Accounts for students under 13 are managed by a parent to protect the child's privacy. You can find more information about accounts for students under 13 here .

You will get a form to fill out for your child (note the account is a restricted child account):
