Basis is an internationally competitive school coming to DC.  Basis in Tucson was ranked the #3 high school in the nation in 2011.  With raised academic expectations, implemented through an accelerated curriculum, BASIS prepares middle and high school students to compete with their peers in countries with highly performing educational systems, such as Finland, Canada, Japan, and Korea.  The BASIS educational philosophy, which is quite straightforward, rests on three legs: A rigorous curriculum, student accountability, and knowledgeable and effective teachers

BASIS is an open enrollment school that does not require entrance examinations and does not charge tuition.  Any student can attend if there is space available; a registration lottery determines admission if there are more students interested than the school can accommodate.
