We educate students at the highest international levels and prepare them to be participants, not spectators, in the 21st century global workforce of commerce and innovation.

The BASIS Curriculum Schools network defines opportunity for students in global terms. Our bright, passionate, subject-expert teachers teach the acclaimed and high-achieving BASIS Curriculum to preschool through high school students at the highest international levels.

The growing, high-achieving, and consistently-acclaimed BASIS Curriculum Schools network – uniquely encompassed by three different types of institutions – consists of over fifty schools in 2024-25 academic year:

  • BASIS Curriculum Schools includes thirty-seven open-enrollment public charter schools in Arizona, Louisiana, Texas, and Washington, D.C. owned by the nonprofit BASIS Charter Schools Inc. and managed by BASIS.ed.
  • BASIS Curriculum Schools also consists of BASIS Independent Schools in New York City, Northern Virginia, California, and Washington State, several of which are divided into Lower and Upper Schools. BASIS Independent Dublin will open in fall 2026.
  • BASIS Curriculum Schools includes a growing network of international and bilingual schools which are privately owned and operated: thirteen in China and one in Bangkok, Thailand. It also includes an early learning school in the Czech Republic called BASIS Beginners Prague and its continuation, BASIS Prague International School.

Our institutions are listed among the nation's best by any measure – national rankings, Advanced Placement and PISA/OECD testing, the National Merit Scholarship Program, or college admissions and merit aid, among many others – because we treat the classroom as sacrosanct, and teach students to love learning.
