The secret ingredient to acing an AP exam at BASIS The secret ingredient to acing an AP exam at BASIS Independent Manhattan? Expert instruction, study tips that speak to our students, and a little bit of cake. 🍰📚

The morning before their AP U.S. Government & Politics exam, our grade 9 students received a one-of-a-kind, creative study flyer from their History Subject Expert Teacher, Mr. Herschkowitz. To reciprocate that dedication, students surprised him with a cake to celebrate their hard work and say thank you for his support throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of the culture of respect, academic rigor, and mutual appreciation our teachers and students build together every day.

Who better to talk about our teachers than the stu Who better to talk about our teachers than the students themselves? 🐾

We turned the cameras over to our Middle and Upper School students to capture what makes our faculty so special. The result? A heartfelt look at the experts who inspire, challenge, and support our Wildcats every single day. ✨

Shout-out to our student production team—Julia N. (Gr. 11), Kai G. (Gr. 8), and Oscar Z. (Gr. 8)—for capturing these interviews!

Join us in showing our teachers some love this week—whether it’s a handwritten note, a favorite memory in the comments below, or a simple, in-person “thank you!” 🙌
