Why BASIS International Schools

Superior outcomes

The average BASIS International student out performs the typical U.S. student—they also score higher than their global peers in Shanghai, Finland, and Singapore.

Expertise and enthusiasm

BASIS International teachers have degrees in their fields, many have advanced degrees, but not necessarily a teaching license. What they must have is the energy to spark interest.

Challenging curriculum

To help prepare students for today's workforce, each grade K-12 focuses on building two core skills: organizing complex tasks and productively managing limited time.
