Amidst a rapidly changing Upper West Side school landscape, parents are increasingly curious about their school options.
Newcomer BASIS Independent Manhattan, sister school to the lauded PreK-12 BASIS Independent Brooklyn school, opens this fall for students in grades K-8 at 795 Columbus Ave. The BASIS network of schools was recently chosen as the first case study representing the United States for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s new PISA4U platform, an online, global, collaborative learning program for school improvement.
The recognition of the program as a proving ground for best practices in education is something that students benefit from daily. Says one parent of two young students who attend their PreK-12 Brooklyn campus (which has quickly become a top private school in Brooklyn), “Many schools offer a competitive academic environment, but ultimately the focus on cultivating students’ sense of independence, ownership and, above all, interest in learning helped us choose BASIS Independent Brooklyn for our kids three years ago. It’s a decision we would make all over again today!”
