Where was the first basis school?

Published in BASIS Independent Schools 1 min read

The first two BASIS Independent campuses opened simultaneously in Brooklyn, New York, and San Jose, California.

Establishing BASIS Independent Schools

In 2014, the BASIS Independent school network launched its inaugural campuses in two distinct locations, marking the beginning of its expansion. These schools, utilizing the well-established BASIS Curriculum, aimed to significantly advance their students' academic achievements.

Initial Campus Locations

The foundational BASIS Independent campuses were established in:

  • Brooklyn, NY: Serving students in the East Coast region.
  • San Jose, CA: Catering to students on the West Coast.

These two campuses were pivotal in demonstrating the effectiveness of the BASIS curriculum in diverse educational environments.

Campus Location State Opening Year Focus
Brooklyn New York 2014 Propelling academic outcomes with BASIS Curriculum
San Jose California 2014 Propelling academic outcomes with BASIS Curriculum

The BASIS Curriculum Foundation

It is important to note that while these two locations were the first BASIS Independent campuses, they leveraged a "well-established BASIS Curriculum." This suggests that the curriculum itself, and potentially other forms of BASIS schools, predated the opening of these specific independent campuses in 2014. The independent model, however, began its journey in these two key cities.
