History

BASIS Independent Silicon Valley was founded in 2014 inside a former IBM office in San Jose. Based on the success of BASIS charter schools opened in Arizona, Texas, and Washington D.C., BASIS.ed decided to implement its educational model into a private school, opening two new private schools in San Jose and Brooklyn. 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]

gollark: They say "*YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR*" then "YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A PIRATED MOVIE".
gollark: Basically, there are stupid anti-piracy ads before movies and on DVDs which you can't skip.
