Open House April 9th for BASIS Independent Brooklyn Lower School
PreK-Gr. 2 campus opened this year at City Point, Downtown Brooklyn
Families place a high value on giving their children an innovative, well-rounded education—one that supports accelerated learning, independent thinking, creativity, and critical inquiry from the very first day. The first BASIS Independent Schools opened their doors in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and Silicon Valley, California, during the fall of 2014. Now the private school program is well established as offering the highest international level of learning after graduating classes of seniors in California as well as New York City and Washington D.C. metro campuses.
In response to the growing demand in Brooklyn, a new Lower School campus opened this fall at City Point in Downtown Brooklyn educating students in the earliest years (PreK through Grade 2). The founding class of students, faculty, and staff started classes at 405 Gold Street in the new City Point complex in Downtown Brooklyn in fall 2021. Families are now able to visit the new campus in person at an Open House on April 9th at 10:00 a.m. ET. Register to attend.
“As Head of School for BASIS Independent Brooklyn Lower, I am focused on cultivating a community where content mastery and compassion for humanity pretty much collide," said Head of School Shari D. Cameron. "I want the Lower School to be a place where students can really relish in the sheer joy and the uncompromised rigor of our curriculum but simultaneously come to school each and every day being 100% who they are. I want them to realize that no matter who they are, no matter who their family is, they are in this place where we are all celebrated and we are all valued. I really want to cultivate that for our Lower School community.”
