POV: Your school fills out its own End-of-Year Ref POV: Your school fills out its own End-of-Year Reflection. 📝🐾

As part of our focus on social-emotional development, we lead our students through goal-setting and reflection—so we thought it was only fair to put ourselves to the test! If BASIS Independent Manhattan were a student, 2025 would be a year of major breakthroughs, high-fives, and even a test of our status as a true New Yorker (looking at you, sidewalk scaffolding). 🏗️🏙️

Swipe through to see what we learned about ourselves this year, from our growing engineering and athletics programs to our favorite memories of the 5Cs in action.
We’re heading into 2026 with one big goal: To keep embracing our ✨superpower✨ of being rigorous AND joyful in everything we do.

To our entire Wildcat community: Thank you for being the heart of this "student's" journey. See you on January 5! 

What’s one goal your student has for the new year? Tell us in the comments! 👇

While the holiday season is famous for gingerbread While the holiday season is famous for gingerbread, our grade 2 and 3 engineers were busy using this sweet tradition to master some serious architectural drafting and construction. Grade 3 leveled up their drafting skills by recreating iconic NYC landmarks! Check out the process and final product of their research, drafting, construction, and completion of their own edible versions of the city we call home. We love seeing them connect what they learn in the classroom and use their creativity to bring the world around them to life.

What is your fave landmark? Or which one looks the most delicious? Or both? We hope everyone is enjoying a restful break! 🐾
