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.”

College Acceptances by the Numbers

Below is a summary of the acceptances of the U.S. News & World Report’s list of 2023-2024 Top National Colleges and Universities. This includes all graduates from our five high schools.

BASIS Curriculum Prepares Entry to Top Colleges and Universities 

The Class of 2024 represents 195 graduates who applied to a wide range of colleges and universities across the U.S. and around the world. College counseling preparation begins in Grade 9 at BASIS Independent Schools. In their senior year, students embark on a daily college counseling class. This experience allows students to dedicate time and focus on preparing applications that convey their academic strengths, leadership on and off campus, accolades, service, and personal vision to stand apart.

“We are very proud of our seniors,” said Matt Brauch, a college counselor at BASIS Independent Brooklyn. “This year’s graduates intentionally pursued their interests inside and outside our walls, growing agency to help those around them through many different extracurricular experiences. I am confident that the drive our students developed in high school will serve them well as they create a positive and sustained impact on their college campuses and in the years beyond.” 

We have compiled the complete list of all acceptances to U.S. colleges and universities, followed by a list of all acceptances to global institutions. We are excited to share the results!
