Sports & AthleticsBeing a BASIS Independent Brooklyn Bear means actively participating in a vibrant learning community, enjoying endless opportunities to connect studies with the real world, discover new talents and skills, and build lasting bonds of friendship and camaraderie.
I love it here at BASIS Independent Brooklyn! It's so accepting and so kind, and all the subjects are amazing.
Connections is my favorite class. I love seeing how all the things that I am learning are connected.
Here at BASIS Independent Brooklyn, I'm interested in what we're learning and I want to learn more.
The teachers are doing more with you instead of just waiting for you to write something down.
The BASIS Independent Brooklyn learning community of students, teachers, and administrators worked together to create a set of school-wide expectations to be carried from classroom to classroom, grade to grade, to establish a strong sense of community. The underlying concept of this set of expectations is simple: respect.
Since our founding in 2014, we have been steadily building a comprehensive sports & athletics program ranging from interscholastic, competitive team sports to individual, movement-based after school activities. Our approach to athletics promotes healthy competition and empowers students with the discipline, grit, and persistence to become leaders on and off the court (or field or track!).
From cooking to theater, coding to History Bowl, our clubs & activities help students grow into well-rounded learners and discover their passions. Our unique approach to clubs & activities at BASIS Independent Brooklyn empowers students to create or help develop a program where they see a need beyond what is offered.
Our educational philosophy is centered on student autonomy and self-advocacy. To support these values, we’ve designed specific services to help empower students when they come to school each day. We also offer many critical auxiliary services such as a lunch program, before-and after-school care, and transportation.
Our content-rich curriculum is complemented by many opportunities for students to see ideas in action—both in and out of the classroom. We delight in giving students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of course material and how it relates to the world around them, to tap into their five senses and explore problems from new angles.
