The world-renowned Khan Academy will soon be piloted in select Idaho schools, with the help of Northwest Nazarene University and the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation. The Albertson Foundation will provide funding for the program. Khan Academy was started by Salman Khan, a former hedge fund analyst, in 2008 with the intent to provide free education to anyone, anywhere, anytime. By 2012, Khan was one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people. The worldwide, nonprofit academy is online and provides content in areas of math, finance, history and art through thousands of video tutorials and in many languages.
