Led by a Subject Expert Teacher and a Learning Expert Teacher in most classes, grades 1–4 students study a well-rounded, integrated curriculum that inspires connections and application of knowledge.
Grades 5–8 are designed to foster student independence, self-motivation, confidence, and curiosity: the academic and organizational skills that will prepare them for high school and beyond.
Beginning with Advanced Placement® (AP) coursework and ending with college-style capstone courses and a Senior Project, the BASIS Curriculum in grades 9–12 is consistently ranked as one of the best high school programs in the U.S.
