We take immense pride in the achievements of our seniors who now embark on the next phase of their exciting academic journey. As they prepare to enter the world’s top colleges and universities this fall, we are confident in their readiness to excel, their determination to distinguish themselves, and their ability to thrive given the thorough preparation of the BASIS Curriculum. 

The Class of 2024 comprises five high schools: BASIS Independent Brooklyn, Fremont, Manhattan, McLean, and Silicon Valley, and they have yet again set the standard in national and international college acceptances. The past school years for our graduates have been filled with countless hours of community building, essay writing, test preparation, campus visits, and more. Their hard work and determination are indicators that they are well-prepared to thrive in world-renowned higher education institutions.

“Our graduates have shown themselves to be excellent scholars and well-rounded students,” says Toby Walker, Vice President of BASIS Independent Schools. “We are all so proud of them as they move on to the next step in their academic lives. Congratulations to the BASIS Independent Schools graduating class of 2024.”

BASIS Independent Schools serves students in cities across the U.S. including Bellevue and Bothell (Fall 2025), WA, Brooklyn and Manhattan, NY, Fremont and San Jose, CA, and McLean, VA.

We are very excited to share news of college acceptances of BASIS Independent Brooklyn’s Class of 2024! Our seniors have many fantastic options, and now they will spend time deciding among the top schools in the country. Students took time to research and fully explore programs and universities offering resources that will build on their interests nurtured in high school – both in classes and activities outside of school – for years to come.

“Members of our Class of 2024 have grown tremendously as individuals through the years on our campus,” commented Head of School Josh Harmon. “Having taught many of them in fifth grade, I can say firsthand that they are a group of students who have always shown promise as learners and sincerely cared for one another. I am proud to see them move on and begin to shape the future. It is also an honor to now see their hard work, passion for learning, and many different commitments beyond the classroom recognized in outstanding options for university.”

“Many of the students in this year’s class have been with our school since its founding,” said College Counselor Matt Brauch. “In our high school program, all these students actively leaned into coursework, clubs, and extracurricular activities to identify and then explore their interests. They aggressively chased after these interests inside and outside of school starting with course selection (choosing where available to pursue their interests on our campus) and through utilizing resources we created and updated throughout their tenure here to explore their interests off campus.”

We are proud to share the university and college acceptances received by our 27 students who applied to colleges this year – 25 seniors and two Class of ’23 alums, who applied to schools during a gap year with the help of our College Counselor.

We are incredibly proud of our Class of 2024. Here are some highlights:

• 6/27 students (22%) were offered seats at top-10 ranked universities.

• 59% were offered spots at colleges in the top 25-ranked national and international institutions, including the University of Pennsylvania, Duke, Northwestern, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, University of Michigan, University of California Berkeley, Barnard, Emory, Georgetown, Hamilton, and Colgate. Three students in the senior class this year received offers of admission from the University of Pennsylvania.

• 74% gained acceptance to schools ranked in the top 50. If McGill is counted given its rank as #54 in “Best Global Universities,” then that number rises to 78%.

• 96% gained acceptance to schools ranked in the top 75. One student applied to Cooper Union early decision, and the school is ranked #2 regionally and very high for engineering. However, it is ranked #107 nationally via Forbes.

• Students continue to look beyond the U.S. and consider offers of admission from international institutions, including the London School of Economics and Political Science, University College London, King’s College London, University of Toronto, McGill University, and University of St. Andrews.

“While I am thrilled that all our students have fantastic college options,” shared Mr. Brauch. “I am most proud of them for applying to schools that fit what they want out of a college environment and experience. Through our many conversations and their actions, each of our seniors chose the path that fit them best at and outside of our school. They became true drivers in this process. That has served them well at our school and will help them tremendously as they take their next steps towards college and beyond.”
