BASIS Independent Silicon Valley (BISV) is a private school operated by Spring Education Group in San Jose, California. BISV is a TK-Grade 12 STEM-focused school. [1]
History[edit]
BASIS Independent Silicon Valley was founded in 2014 inside a former IBM office in San Jose. Based on the success of BASIS charter schools opened in Arizona, Texas, and Washington D.C., BASIS.ed decided to implement its educational model into a private school, opening two new private schools in San Jose and Brooklyn. Today, Spring Education Group has taken over the ownership and management of the seven private schools.[2] The mission of BASIS Independent Schools is to raise the standards of students' learning to the highest international levels.[3] At BISV, each student takes at least four AP courses before their senior year, where they do independent research and take capstone classes.[2] The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities including a competitive speech and debate club, volunteering clubs, and active sports teams.
In fall of 2022, BASIS Independent Silicon Valley opened a lower school campus in Sunnyvale, California. The lower school serves Transitional Kindergarten (TK) - Grade 5.
