The BASIS Curriculum for grades 5–7 is designed to help students acquire intellectual and organizational skills necessary for success in the challenging High School curriculum. Unlike the Primary (1-4) Program, which is taught in 85-minute blocks, Intermediate students swap courses and subjects every 50 minutes, which provides an exciting challenge for them.

The curriculum, which runs from grades 8 through 12, is widely regarded as one of the world’s most intellectually advanced high school programs. Top colleges throughout the globe, like Harvard and Stanford, as well as the University of Oxford, usually accept their graduates. Their graduates will have completed a world-class college-prepared course of study that includes a full year of economics in eighth grade, a multitude of AP courses, advanced electives, and in-depth college counseling, all of which prepares them to flourish in college and beyond.

Their curriculum pushes students to achieve the highest international standards while also holding them accountable for learning topic content. BASIS.ed students have the option of graduating after grade 11 due to the curriculum’s acceleration; nevertheless, the majority of students prefer to continue their studies in grade 12 in order to engage in two very significant components of the BASIS.ed program: Senior Projects and Capstone Courses.
