A Brief History of BASIS Curriculum Schools

What happens when the best practices from the top education systems in the world—places such as Singapore, Finland, and Shanghai—are infused with the creativity and spirit that defines American education? That's what BASIS Curriculum Schools co-founders sought to answer after Dr. Michael Block discovered that students in his university classroom, who were educated abroad, were more prepared to excel in their studies. This coincided when his wife, Olga Block, couldn't find a high school program in the U.S. for her daughter that matched the content depth of her own education from Eastern Europe. In 1998, they opened their first school in Tucson, Arizona. Thirty-seven campuses and twenty-four thousand students later, BASIS Curriculum Schools is looked to as the gold standard in preparing students with the content knowledge, critical thinking, and creative problem solving skills needed to be successful in an increasingly complex world.

COMMUNITY

I enjoy working in an environment where every student is expected to master the close reading and analytical writing skills taught in Honors and AP English courses.

I like how the school is focused on a deep understanding of content that is both relevant today and tried and true and is geared towards helping students become critical thinkers and problem solvers.
