History
editBASIS 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, Spring Education Group has taken over the ownership and management of the seven private schools.[2] The mission of BASIS Independent Schools is to raise the standards of students' learning to the highest international levels.[3] At BISV, each student takes at least four AP courses before their senior year, where they do independent research and take capstone classes.[2] The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities including a competitive speech and debate club, volunteering clubs, and active sports teams. Sports include cross country, track and field, volleyball, basketball, and badminton.
In the fall of 2022, BASIS Independent Silicon Valley opened a lower school campus in Sunnyvale, California. The lower school serves Transitional Kindergarten (TK) - Grade 5.
