Hi Will,

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! I can understand how important the AP World History course is to you.

The decision to retire this course was a very difficult one for our team, but ultimately we think it’s the right long-term move for our learners.

Please note that there are some alternative resources where you could get the content we're retiring. For example, you can still find most of that course's videos on our YouTube channel. For more information about the specific changes we’re making as well as some alternative resources you might consider, check out our article "Khan Academy course updates, Summer 2020."

I hope this addresses your concern! Thank you for being part of our community. :)

sad - my two daughters were doing this course, was better than what they did March - June in school! They are worried about next year with remote learning and how to tackle AP World History. They are sad to have lost all their progress, not that keen to start over after 3 months with another Kahn course that may not be aligned with the actual course.

The youtube series doesn't have assessment stages, but at least it's something they can do on their own

I do recognize that what they've done has been FREE and HIGH QUALITY and ENGAGING, and I appreciate Khan so so very much as a resource to help everyone willing to put in the work! 

Cheers, 

Sad too. I was really hoping that there would be an AP world History course since the class seems really, really hard (I just wanted to preview how it would look like).

However, thank God that Khan Academy left those videos on YouTube and thank you for listing those resources. I cannot wait to look at them! :D

Thank you so much!

P.s. if you have any other resources or advice, please tell me, it seems like a really hard class and I don't know how to possibly survive it.
