The BASIS Charter School Curriculum

Academic success on our campuses is achieved one grade level at a time. Our proprietary curriculum is taught by Subject Expert Teachers who develop their lesson plans to encourage critical thinking, and development of communication and organizational skills. A co-teaching model, with two instructors per classroom in grades 1–3, maximizes students’ learning potential and nurtures their desire to excel. The combination of our STEM-infused, liberal arts curriculum and dedicated teaching staff lays the foundation for achievement in middle school, high school, and beyond.

In Latin ad astra means “to the stars.” This expression fits BASIS because we learn to dream big, reach for our high hopes, and get there.

I’m finding that students at BASIS are excited to be at BASIS. They are excited to learn. They’re ready to learn. And they want to give their best effort. And that’s not something you’ll find everywhere.

BASIS is limitless for kids who are naturally intelligent. They have a place at school where they can really explore whatever they want. It’s celebrated. It’s welcomed.
