About BASIS Curriculum Schools

BASIS Curriculum Schools began as a visionary venture in 1998 when Dr. Michael Block, and Olga Block, world-class academics in the field of economics, found that students in their classrooms who were educated outside the United States were not only more prepared for the challenges faced in college than their domestic counterparts, but were simply "better" at being students. Digging further, they found that low expectations among U.S. students led to a lack of curricular substance in American classrooms. Creating a brand-new school in Tucson, Arizona, they discovered that U.S. students thrived when challenged, rising to and exceeding the best students in the world. The BASIS Curriculum School revolution was born.

They developed a formula for success, refined regularly since then, that proves every child can become a great student when presented with a rigorous course of study taught by Subject Expert Teachers and supported by a culture of excellence. What began as a single campus in Tucson has grown to become a unique, high-achieving, and unprecedented network of schools — five independent schools (located in Brooklyn and Manhattan, New York; McLean, Virginia; and two locations in Silicon Valley), two international schools in China located in Guangzhou and Shenzhen (with Hangzhou and Park Lane Harbour to open in August), and 25 charter schools across the United States.
