Now that the weather is getting warmer, we are sending our seniors off to conduct their Senior Projects and planning for upcoming spring arts festivals. The other special part of spring is that our Rolling Admissions Cycle is in full swing. This means one thing for BASIS Independent Brooklyn – our Spring Open Houses! Open Houses are considered the greatest way for your family to get to know our BASIS Independent Brooklyn community, making them some of the best events of our year. Come see for yourself how we are redefining education at BASIS Independent Brooklyn’s two campuses!

Please join us in person at one of our Open Houses on Saturday, April 12 (Grades 3-12) and Saturday, April 26th (PreK–Grade 2). Click here to register!

What to Expect:

For both Open Houses, doors will open at 9:40 AM ET, and the event will last approximately until 12:00 PM ET. We welcome you to register and attend even if you are not able to participate in the entire event. Students are encouraged to join us, as well.

Open Houses begin with an Introduction and an Open House Overview. They include a parent and student panel where you will be able to hear from current BASIS Independent Brooklyn families. Families will also be able to tour the campus while visiting classrooms. Please review the details below for additional information regarding the structure of each Open House:
