Guide to the Parent Dashboard

Updated

Parents are key in supporting their children’s learning at Khan Academy. From the Parent Dashboard you are able to connect your child's account, have easy access to their settings page, and view their progress.

Navigating to the Parent Dashboard

You can access the Parent Dashboard by clicking your name in the top right corner and selecting "Parent Dashboard" from the dropdown list. 

 

Creating and Adding Child Accounts

You can add a new child or add an existing child account to your parent account by clicking Add a Child from the "Activity" and "Settings" pages on your Parent Dashboard. 

Then you’ll be directed to create or add your child’s account.

Creating an Account For Children Under the Age of 13

If your child is under 13 and doesn't have a Khan Academy account, follow these steps:

  1. Select "No".
  2. Input your child's birthdate.
  3. Create your child's username and password.
  4. Accept the Terms of Service for Parent Users.

After completing these steps, your child's account should be created.

For Children Over the Age of 13

If your child is over the age of 13 and they have an email address, you can send them an invitation to create their Khan Academy account.

In case your child doesn't have an email address, you can create an account for them, adding their nickname and username along with their password.

Adding Children's Accounts to Your Parent Account

If your child is already 13 or older and has a Khan Academy account, follow these steps:

  1. Select "Yes."
  2. If your child has an email address linked to their account, you can send them an invitation to link your parent account to their child's account.

If your child's account does not have their email address linked to it, your child will need to log in using their username and password and then add your email address to their account settings.

Managing Account Settings

From the "Settings" section of the Parent Dashboard, you can click Edit Settings to make adjustments to your child’s account if they are younger than 13 years old. If your child is 13 or older, they can adjust their own settings.

Following Your Child’s Progress

You can view your child’s progress on Khan Academy from your Parent Dashboard on the "Activity" tab. Click on your child’s name to view their activity in the courses across Khan Academy.  This includes work your child did at home and at school, broken down by Khan Academy course. 

You can also click the person iconnext to you child's name to be taken directly to their Learner Home to view additional Progress info, and if applicable, their Khanmigo Chat History and Khanmigo settings page.
