About BASIS Independent Bellevue
Welcome to BASIS Independent Bellevue.
What do flying eggs and dinner party conversations have in common? At BASIS Independent Bellevue, they are both part of the learning experience. Whether students are testing the laws of gravity during our annual Egg War or sharpening their communication skills through a mock dinner party, our classrooms are designed to spark curiosity, encourage active participation, and make learning memorable.
Our expert teachers challenge students to ask thoughtful questions, explore new ideas, and approach every lesson with confidence. Along the way, students build the knowledge, character, and resilience to discover they are capable of more than they imagined.

We believe in the power of authentic learning that connects classroom concepts to real-world applications. Inspired by enthusiastic teachers, our students grow through engaging, hands-on experiences that infuse their learning with discovery and delight.

Located in the Crossroads neighborhood, between Lake Sammamish and downtown Bellevue, our six-acre tree-lined campus provides ample room for all kinds of learning, exploration, and connection. With plentiful green outdoor spaces that support outdoor learning, recreation, athletics, and community gatherings, students can discover their passions in and out of the classroom. At the same time, our location places students within one of the region’s most dynamic and globally connected communities.
