Description
Founded by Sal Khan in 2020, Schoolhouse.world (Schoolhouse)offers free online peer tutoring opportunities to 190,000 learners aged 13 and up from over 180 countries. In addition to the demonstrated gains for learners, Schoolhousegives more than 30,000 young people who volunteer as tutors an opportunity to give back, learn academic material in greater depth, and learn new skills as tutors. Building on its success, They havelaunched the Global Dialogues program which fosters discourse skills for students ages 14–21 through structured Zoom discussions on complex civic topics. Across both programs, the Schoolhouse Portfolio compiles students’ subject-matter mastery, tutoring contributions, and dialogue participation into credentials considered by admissions offices at over 50 colleges and universities. Over the grant term, Schoolhouse aims to grow to 80,000 tutors and 50,000 Dialogues participants, with at least 40,000 of those students earning formal competencies on their portfolio. Schoolhouse will also implement platform and safety improvements, refine credentialing pathways, and expand its network.
