BASIS.ed schools have been raising the level of American education to the highest international standards for 17 years, since our first school opened in 1998. We have an academically accelerated, internationally benchmarked liberal arts curriculum at 16 open enrollment, tuition-free public charter schools and two independent schools across the U.S. BASIS charter schools are listed among the nationÍs best by any measure _ state and national rankings, merit on Advanced Placement exams, success on PISA/OECD testing, and college admissions, among many factors _ because we honor the sacrosanctity of our classrooms, and foster a love of learning in our students. Our formula is simple: we continually improve our exceptional curriculum; we hire bright, passionate teachers who are experts in their subjects and often have real-world experience; and we teach students to find what inspires them, and to ask and answer questions without hesitation or limits.
