BASIS Independent Manhattan is a new K-8 option opening Fall 2017 on the Upper West Side. In what will be the fifth campus, BASIS Independent Schools take the guess-work out of what good education looks like.  With a clear focus on readying students for the skills they need to excel in their future pursuits, BASIS Independent Manhattan provides an unparalleled foundation in all academic disciplines, along with critical skills like collaborative problem-solving, connection with others, self-direction, and empathy.

Additionally, both teachers and students are held accountable for a child’s academic progress. Students even help evaluate teaching candidates. Why go to such extent to ensure the students and teachers are compatible? Because BASIS Independent Schools only recruit teachers who love teaching and have deep content knowledge—those who can inspire students to become creative problem solvers.

Curious to learn more about the buzz? Join BASIS Independent Manhattan on May 25 for a special event featuring founding CEO of BASIS Independent Schools Dr. Mark Reford, as he further explores how 5 BASIS Curriculum Schools were recently named as the top 10 best high schools in the nation.

K-8 Information Session
May 25 | 6:30 p.m.
795 Columbus Ave., NY, NY 10025

BASIS Independent Manhattan is currently accepting applications for grades K-6 for Fall 2017.
