“This was our first year in middle school at BASIS Independent McLean, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Our expert teachers go out of their way to offer office hours, extra support, and enrichment opportunities. The focus is very much on academics, but our 6th grader still took part in soccer, basketball. The administration is communicative and skilled at managing any issues that arise.”

– Gianna B., Parent of Elementary School Student

“My daughter enjoys learning at BASIS Independent McLean, where her teachers bring real expertise to their subjects. The facilities are excellent for general study, science, and sports, and she finds the curriculum challenging yet engaging and enjoyable. BASIS Independent is preparing her for a bright future.”

– Macie L., Parent of Elementary School Student

“We just started at BASIS Independent McLean this fall, and after just a few weeks we’re completely blown away. The school covers everything we care about: organizational skills, personal accountability, excellent academics, and a strong curriculum. Our kids are proud of their efforts and feel like part of a strong team. Academic success is celebrated, and it motivates them to work even harder. This feels like an incredible opportunity for our kids, and I only wish we could have started with the Pre-K program!”

– Juan M., Parent of Elementary School Student

“BASIS Independent McLean provided my 5th grade son with an outstanding education. Now in his second year, he continues to meet challenges that push him to work harder, study smarter, and seek out individual support from his teachers when needed. He finds challenges in mathematics, science, technology, and engineering every week, and outside of class there are soccer teams, math clubs, fencing, and computer programming clubs, among many other opportunities to enrich and challenge students after the school day ends.”

– Ella H., Parent of Elementary School Student
