BASIS Independent McLean Class of 2025 College Acceptances: A Private School Achievement
We are extremely excited and proud of our very talented Class of 2025, and equally glad to share news of their college acceptances! This class is an amazing group of young people with tremendous futures ahead of them. Associate Head of School, Kate Reynolds, says of them, “As someone who has watched many of these students grow from their earliest years on our campus, I am filled with pride. They’ve grown not only in academic skill but in character, curiosity, and leadership. Their college acceptances reflect years of persistence, integrity, and a deep commitment to their goals.”
“This group of students has demonstrated remarkable achievements, both in and out of the classroom,” says Head of School, Jason Shorbe, “Their college acceptances are a testament to the strength of our academic program and the depth of their individual aspirations. We are so proud to see them take this next step and excited to see what they go on to accomplish next!”
This year’s graduates have been accepted into BA/MD, Honors College, and other prestigious Scholars programs. Several of our recruited athletes will compete in fencing, baseball, and volleyball in college. Four were designated as National Merit Finalists.
