About BASIS.ed
Our Mission:
At BASIS.ed, the classroom is sacrosanct and student-teacher interaction is the essential educational activity. The value we place on nurturing this relationship is evident in the respect we show toward teachers and the learning process. Teachers open the minds of students to their disciplines. This true partnership and mutual respect is unmistakable in our academic community. Students learn that they can always find a champion in their teachers.
What we do:
BASIS.ed is a dynamic American educational network that manages world quality charter schools in Arizona, Louisiana, Texas, and Washington D.C. BASIS Charter School Curriculum model is designed to prepare students for more than academic success. It prepares people for a lifetime of dreaming and doing. Our culture is driven by a relentless focus on the key factors that improve student learning: we monitor results to ensure that students and teachers are meeting the very high bar that we have set. Our cycle of performance measurements and program management allows the finest employees within BASIS.ed to advance, so that we have a standard to inspire quality in every school that we manage.
Our Story:
At the core of Michael and Olga Block’s educational vision is a belief that the goal of a great education is to provide students with choices, with unbounded opportunities, to send them to college and into their professional lives empowered by the broad and deep content knowledge and critical thinking skills that will enable them to craft their own futures. From the beginning their vision has been more ambitious than opening the best school in Tucson, or Scottsdale or even Arizona. It is to create a dynamic network of the finest schools in the world that can represent America at its best: a K - 12 fusion of creativity, innovation and rigorous experimentation and problem-solving that is the signature of such legendary intellectual communities as Bell Labs and the NASA Apollo program.
Today this network of open-enrollment public charter schools has the mission of redefining education and leading the U. S. and the world in producing breathtaking learning results. The promise of this vision is that expert, passionate teachers inspire their students to fall in love with learning, with the satisfaction to be gained from hard work, with the joy of intellectual and creative effort and with the acceptance of struggle and failure as an inevitable part of a productive and stimulating life. Learning is BASIS.ed’s business. We manage some of the best schools in the world and we are working hard to ensure that more and more students will have access to the opportunity and choices we open for them.

BASIS teachers have degrees in their field, many have advanced degrees, but don't necessarily have a teaching license. Since many have spent their adult lives studying a subject they love, they're passionate about what they teach. It's that passion that inspires students to overcome challenges, grasp new concepts and love learning.

BASIS.ed Primary Schools are revolutionizing elementary education by incorporating two key aspects of the widely successful BASIS Curriculum: subject expertise and student-focused development!
The BASIS.ed Primary Teaching Model solves one of the biggest challenges in elementary education: homeroom teachers having to prepare and teach multiple subject lessons every day and then having to differentiate the instruction for their students. Our model splits these responsibilities between the Subject Expert Teacher (SET) and the Learning Expert Teacher (LET) and frees our teachers up to thrive on what they do best!
SET: Spend your time and energy on the one subject that you are most knowledgeable and passionate about. Prepare one subject-focused lesson rather than 4 or 5 lessons every day.
LET: Focus and spend the most time on individual student needs. Your role is to analyze student achievement and teach the skills necessary for academic and personal development.
