Basis School

We really like this BS Schools here and all the teachers here very very friendly. Good care of children. But the not much parking lots.

Basis has been a godsend for my daughter. Curriculum is challenging and the homework can be a little overwhelming but the education she is receiving is excellent. This is her third year attending and every year she has excelled. It Is teaching her things like responsibility and the importance of putting her education first. I do wish that it was a open campus and we were able to know her teacher is a bit better. I do worry about when she gets older about finding time to do extracurricular activities. But overall I am very pleased.

We love Basis Tucson after our daughters first year, but agreed to take it year by year and as long as it is a good fit for her we will continue having her attend. The curriculum is challenging enough for the kids and the resources to the students are plentiful. Our daughter thrived and had wonderful teachers. The only thing I really don’t like is I wish they were more open doors and allowed parents to come in regularly.

First of all, this is no longer the high school location. It’s the only one listed and the same school, so I’m placing my review. We have been scouting schools for when my eldest will be starting high school. She has been in TUSD’s self-​contained GATE program since elementary. Hearing such wonderful things about Basis, we printed out the forms and went today to turn them in. We were highly discouraged, to put it in polite terms, by the woman in the office to even turn them in. «By 9^th grade, all children should have at least 3 years studying a foreign language. They start their students on chemistry and calculus in 5^th grade.» These were her opening statements. She hadn’t even looked at our paperwork. Then, again without reading one word of the application, she stated,“Perhaps, if she gets in, she could be restarted in middle school.” Seriously? I wanted to scream, «Read my daughter’s credentials before you start making blanket statements!» The location is in the Foothills, so in our casual attire I suppose we weren’t good enough to even turn in an application. Obviously, if your child doesn’t start at Basis from Kindergarten, they don’t want you applying. No worries, with a straight A history and full GATE program, there are other schools in Tucson more than happy to have my daughter attend.
