About the role

Khan Lab School is seeking educators for its Palo Alto campus to lead engaging, developmentally appropriate instruction for early grades. Qualified applicants will have prior teaching experience and a strong alignment with the school’s progressive, inquiry-based approach and core values. Candidates should be comfortable using Khan Academy as a teaching tool, collaborating with colleagues, and adapting instruction based on student needs and feedback.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
