We are thrilled to announce that our school mascot will be the BASIS Independent Dublin Timberwolves!

A school mascot is much more than a symbol. It represents the heart and spirit of the entire community. It unites students, teachers, and families under a shared identity, creating a sense of belonging and pride that extends far beyond the classroom. The mascot helps build tradition and school spirit, inspiring students to support one another, celebrate achievements, and face challenges together. Whether it’s cheered for at games, displayed in hallways, or worn on school swag, the mascot reminds everyone that they are part of something bigger – a community that values teamwork, perseverance, and pride in who they are.

Why did we choose the Timberwolf?

In many ways, the Timberwolf perfectly encapsulates the spirit of our community — strong, loyal, and united. Timberwolves are known for their teamwork and intelligence. They rely on one another, move together as a pack, and face every challenge with courage and determination.

Just like a Timberwolf pack, our students, staff, and families will support one another, celebrate each other’s successes, and grow stronger together. The Timberwolf reminds us that we are bold, resilient, and unstoppable — especially when we move forward as one community, one pack!

Selecting our mascot has been a community effort, with ideas and inspiration coming from future students, families, and faculty alike. This process gave everyone a chance to share what they felt best represented the heart of BASIS Independent Dublin — a brand new school that values curiosity, collaboration, and perseverance. By choosing the Timberwolf together, we’ve taken an important first step in shaping the traditions and shared identity that will define our school for years to come.

In these early years, the Timberwolf will serve as a symbol of pride and unity, inspiring our students to lead with integrity, work as a team, and strive for excellence both inside and outside the classroom. As our community grows, this shared symbol will continue to remind us of where we began — as a small but mighty pack, coming together to build something extraordinary.

What’s next?

As we begin our inaugural school year, students will have the opportunity to name the Timberwolf mascot! This will be an exciting step that will further strengthen our connection to the symbol that represents who we are and who we aspire to become.
