Today, BASIS.ed operates seven private schools and 24 charter schools.[1]The mission of BASIS Independent Schools is to raise the standards of students' learning to the highest international levels.[2] At BISV, each student takes at least six AP courses before their senior year, where they do independent research and take capstone classes.[1]
A new BASIS Independent school for K-8 students in Fremont opened fall 2016. It directly feeds students into BASIS Independent Silicon Valley.[3]
