We're on a mission to unlock every student’s potential through free, peer-powered learning and real, human connection.
Schoolhouse was founded in 2020 by Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy. It began as a simple idea during the pandemic: students can support one another in powerful ways when given the opportunity. That idea has grown into a global nonprofit that makes learning more personal, accessible, and human.
Today, with over 174,000 students from more than 180 countries, Schoolhouse is the world’s largest platform for free, live, peer-to-peer tutoring. Our programs include SAT® prep, college admissions workshops, homework help, and Dialogues—structured conversations that build empathy and communication skills.
Powered entirely by student volunteers, Schoolhouse creates a supportive environment where learners grow academically and personally. Tutors are peers who have mastered the material and want to help others succeed, fostering trust and connection.
