Welcome to BASIS Independent Silicon Valley. At our grades 5–12 private school in San Jose, we prove time and again that with the right support and encouragement, all students can achieve academic excellence. How? We set the bar high and help students develop the confidence to clear it. Our curriculum, paired with our expert teachers, helps students achieve whatever they put their hearts and minds. It is challenging, it is rewarding, and it is inspiring. Our incredible, passionate, and dedicated teachers bring the internationally recognized BASIS Curriculum to life in a setting that fosters a dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and the pleasure inherent in scrutinizing and understanding the world around us. Our students study a wide variety of subjects – from Classical Civilizations to advanced mathematics. They are taught to be critical and analytical thinkers – to be open-minded and autonomous – to trust themselves and excel. This is a school where there truly is no shortage of success. Incredible performances on BASIS Curriculum developed examinations, Advanced Placement Tests, and the OECD Test for Schools based on PISA being rightly championed and celebrated. Competitive academics, college acceptances, remarkable individual achievements – all are worth pointing to. A combination of student intellectual curiosity and faculty subject expertise leads to an environment where learning is valued for its own sake and embraced as a means in itself and not merely an end. Our mission is to educate students to the highest international levels with a spiraling liberal arts and sciences curriculum benchmarked to the world's best education systems. Our advanced curriculum, unmatched in breadth and depth, prepares students with the content knowledge, critical thinking, and self-advocacy skills needed to succeed throughout their education and well beyond. Our passionate, expert teachers are unwavering in their belief that any child can excel with hard work, the right support, encouragement, and inspiration. We are committed to a positive learning culture where hard work is celebrated, and intellectual pursuits result in extraordinary outcomes. This philosophy drives the scope and sequence of the BASIS Curriculum. Our perspective is evergreen and does not give in to the pressure of the latest education trends. We are proud to be both unabashedly forward-thinking and unapologetically old-fashioned in our approach. We focus on what works and what is proven when it comes to preparing students today for what is to come tomorrow: Today, we can no longer conceive of opportunity for the next generation as confined to a city, a state, or even a nation. We commit to teaching our students to the highest global standards to succeed in the best universities in the world and compete in a global professional marketplace. Founded by two economists, our schools have been committed, from our earliest days to the smart, network-wide use of student performance data. We hold ourselves accountable for using the insights this data provides to sustain and improve our students' learning outcomes. Our study path is connected from the student’s academic start in preschool to the student’s finish with Senior Projects. Our curriculum is carefully calibrated so that students are appropriately challenged and excited by their learning in every discipline and at every grade level. Each year builds as a preparation for the challenges to come. We teach our students to achieve mastery of the foundational academic disciplines and competencies, for it is that mastery, which will empower their future lives and careers. In our classrooms, bolstered by the faculty's unwavering support, students will face demanding challenges and celebrate extraordinary victories as they learn and uphold excellence. Our use of technology in education is highly focused: we use technology to help solve problems of scale, help create the connective tissue that joins a network of schools into an integrated system with data-driven quality control, and share best practices. We use it to ensure that curricular decisions and innovations are driven by our teachers, not a top-down, centralized bureaucracy. We believe technological competency is a skill necessary to thrive in our modern academic, professional, and personal lives. While technology is one of many tools available to teachers to engage and inspire students to take ownership of their learning experience, devices cannot replace the dynamic, co-creative classroom interaction between teachers and students. Trust and respect between teacher and student is the essential ingredient in academic success. In our schools, diverse perspectives are challenged and tested in an environment of informed thought and collegiality. Students must be prepared to navigate the uncertainty of the 21st-century landscape with profound humility. By engaging with various global perspectives, our students are empowered to make their own decisions about how they will navigate their world. Conflict and struggle are vital components in our students' maturation and the evolution of their most deeply held convictions. View full school
