Yes. Students in grades K–6 are required to participate in Physical Education classes. These classes meet at least three days a week. Beginning in grade 7, students can choose to continue with Physical Education as an elective course.

BASIS Charter Schools offer extracurricular activities to enrich our students’ academic experience. Each school aligns its activities to the unique interests of the student body, therefore activities will vary from school to school. Clubs and extracurricular activities could include Music, Art, Dance, Orchestra, Band, Basketball, Soccer, Tennis, Coding and Chess—just to name a few! Our middle and high school students are able to participate in charter association sports leagues and have the opportunity to test their skills against other schools inside and outside of our network.

Please contact your local BASIS Charter School for specific information on current extracurricular offerings.

Yes. BASIS Charter Schools offer the Early Bird and Late Bird programs to assist parents/guardians whose schedules do not align with the schools’ scheduled start and end times.

The Early Bird program serves parents/guardians whose days begin earlier than the school start time. During Early Bird, staff members supervise students in designated areas of the school. While our staff members do monitor students’ safety and general well-being, we do not provide organized instruction or recreation during this time. Students are still expected to follow all school rules.

The Late Bird program is a fee-based, after-school program that serves parents/guardians whose days end later than the school end time. During Late Bird, staff members supervise students in designated areas of the school. The Late Bird program is structured, so students have time to do homework, read, make up tests, etc. Financial aid is available for qualifying families.

Every BASIS Charter School has a Student Affairs team. Individuals on this team offer academic, social/emotional, and behavioral support to students. With our advanced curriculum, having a strong academic support program in place is essential for student success. Our teachers hold regular Student Hours (before and after school) during which students can get extra help. The Student Affairs team also meets with students who need extra support on a regular basis. They work with students on organization, time management, note taking, and other related skills that enable academic success.

Additionally, we provide a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to students with disabilities who are currently eligible, or are determined eligible, to receive special education and related services. We have a strong and knowledgeable team who implements federal programs such as 504 plans and IEPs.
