June 20, 2025 by sarahpeterson Leave a Comment

We are thrilled to share the college acceptances of BASIS Independent Fremont’s Class of 2025! Our seniors reached an exciting milestone, receiving offers from a wide range of exceptional colleges and universities across the country and beyond. These acceptances reflect not only their academic excellence but also their growth as leaders, thinkers, and individuals over the years. As they prepare for the next chapter, we celebrate the hard work, perseverance, and passion that brought them to this point—and we look forward to all they’ll achieve in the future.

Head of School Mariam Abodouma captured the spirit of this class, sharing that, “The Class of 2025, as our second graduating class, has accomplished impressive academic and personal growth. Over the years, they’ve built a close-knit community grounded in kindness, resilience, perseverance, and a strong work ethic. They have never been afraid of hard work or shied away from challenges. Their outstanding college acceptances reflect the dedication they’ve shown throughout their time here. I’m confident they will continue to make a positive impact wherever their paths lead.”

College admissions have grown increasingly competitive in recent years, and the Class of 2025 met that challenge with focus, ambition, and intention. Their outcomes reflect not only their academic strength but also the thoughtful and personalized way they approached the process.

We’re proud to share the impressive college acceptance results from BASIS Independent Fremont’s Class of 2025:

• 35% of students were accepted to their first-choice school
• 29% of students were accepted to Top 15 Schools
• 39% of students were accepted to Top 20 Global Schools
• 92% of students were accepted to Top 50 Schools
• 100% of students were accepted to Top 100 Schools
*Based on U.S. News & World Report rankings of National and Global Universities

In addition, five students were accepted into prestigious Scholarship or Honors College programs, and three were recognized as National Merit Finalists.

Speaking on behalf of the college counseling team, College Counselor Niyati Shah highlighted the dedication this group brought to their journey, saying, “The Class of 2025 was truly exceptional. Each student brought clarity, purpose, and ambition to their college journey, demonstrating a strong sense of direction and determination. It has been a privilege to work with such bright, motivated individuals and witness their growth throughout the process. We are incredibly proud of all they’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see the impact they’ll make as they begin this exciting new chapter.”

As only our second graduating class, these seniors have helped shape what it means to be a BASIS Independent Fremont graduate, and they’ve set a remarkable standard for future trailblazers to follow.

May 29, 2025 by ezekielbracamonte Leave a Comment

The Class of 2025 at BASIS Independent Silicon Valley has left a lasting mark with their unique passions, drive, and resilience. From academic achievements to extracurricular pursuits, these students have fully embraced the challenges and opportunities of our program. Their growth reflects not only their personal determination but also the support and encouragement of the BISV community that surrounds them.

Their college acceptances reflect not just academic excellence, but a deep commitment to finding the right fit for who they are and who they’re becoming. This is what success looks like at BASIS Independent Silicon Valley—intentional, authentic, and earned,” said Kolb.

College acceptances represent a major milestone for our students and their families, and this exciting moment would not be possible without the guidance and support of our college counseling team. While rankings often grab attention, our counselors focus on helping students discover schools where they will truly thrive academically, socially, and personally. Through individualized conversations and thoughtful planning, they consider each student’s goals, interests, and practical needs, such as location and financial fit. This personalized approach empowers our graduating Bobcats to find college communities where they can grow with confidence and purpose.

Ms. Christie Filios, one of our college counselors, reflected on the Class of 2025 with admiration, sharing, “The Class of 2025 was comprised of students with very diverse interests and passions, but who all had a deep desire to put their stamp on the world. There is no doubt that these students will achieve much in their lifetime. Congratulations seniors on your graduation.”

The Class of 2025 has demonstrated resilience, curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to growth.

A Celebration of Excellence: Class of 2025 College Acceptances Announced

BASIS Independent Schools continues to set the standard nationally for academic excellence. The Class of 2025 represents 206 graduates across five high schools—BASIS Independent Brooklyn, Fremont, Manhattan, McLean, and Silicon Valley. From coast to coast, our graduates have earned admission to the world’s top colleges and universities, demonstrating that they are ready to lead, excel, and contribute.

College preparation at BASIS Independent Schools starts in grade 9 introducing students early to the foundational concepts and expectations of the college admission journey. In their senior year, students take a dedicated, daily college counseling class for two trimesters, taught by our College Counselors. This class builds upon the preparation that they have received since freshman year. It provides students with the resources, tools, and confidence to successfully navigate the college admission process.

“Everyone involved with supporting the students in this graduating class is equal parts inspired and impressed by everything that they have achieved,” expressed Toby Walker, Vice President of BASIS Independent Schools. “Students in the BASIS Independent Schools Class of 2025 have shown themselves to be real innovators, diligent scholars, and positive contributors. We look forward to hearing more about their undoubted future successes.”
