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.
Head of School Ms. Kolb reflected on this year’s graduates, noting that their college acceptances represent more than just strong academics. “I couldn’t be prouder of our graduates. 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.”
