H
ave you wondered if a BASIS Charter School might be the right school for your child? As you plan school for next fall, now is the perfect time to find out if BASIS is the right fit for your family. BASIS Charter Schools are hosting tours throughout the months of October and November. Each tour is the perfect opportunity for families to learn more about BASIS, ask questions, and discover why BASIS Charter Schools consistently rank among the best schools in the nation. BASIS SCOTTSDALE LOCATIONS INCLUDE: • BASIS Scottsdale, located at 10400 N. 128th Street, serving grades 5-12 • BASIS Scottsdale Primary (E. Campus), located at 11440 N. 136th Street, serving grades K-4 • BASIS Scottsdale Primary (W. Campus), located at 7496 E. Tierra Buena Lane, serving grades K-4 According to BASIS Charter Schools, their curriculum is unique in several ways: • The curriculum is not centrally written; they just manage it. This means that they choose the subjects and set the standards for the scope and sequence of instruction, but they don’t hand teachers fully written lessons.
• Courses are taught by teachers who are experts in their content area, and they have the autonomy to present subject matter in their own creative and engaging ways. • They have a network of experienced mentor teachers—Subject Mentors—who are distributed throughout schools to assist, advise, and support classroom teachers. • BASIS Charter School students take a rigorous suite of courses that most U.S. schools do not offer, including economics (in middle school), linguistics, engineering, classics (in middle school), and Mandarin (in primary school).
• They spiral key concepts and skills from kindergarten through high school, including Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and beyond. As students progress, the connections they make across subjects boost critical thinking skills and deeper understanding. This structure of advancing and reinforcing content prepares students to excel in the AP courses for these subjects in high school.
