If you are in the process of looking for an exceptional education for your child, we would like to help you cut through the clutter and hone in on what is important to you – finding a place that balances world-class academics in a supportive and joyful learning environment. Welcome to BASIS Independent Manhattan, a K-12 private school.
The perfect way to optimize your time searching is to step inside our school, interact with our incredible teachers, and have your questions answered honestly by current parents and students.
This can all be accomplished in a couple of hours on one weekend morning at the BASIS Independent Manhattan Fall Open Houses:
Lower School (PreK – Grade 5) Open House
Saturday, October 25 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
795 Columbus Ave., New York (Upper West Side)
Upper School (Grades 6 – 12) Open House
Sunday, October 26 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
556 West 22nd St., New York (Chelsea)
Our Fall Open Houses are the perfect opportunity to discover our campuses in person, learn about our world-class, advanced BASIS Curriculum, and participate in live mini-classroom demonstrations with our talented and dedicated Learning and Subject Expert Teachers. Your students will have plenty of fun to enjoy, too! As always, students are welcome and encouraged to attend our Open Houses.
In addition, the best way to learn about a school is through the unfiltered perspectives of current parents and students. We provide a panel of student and parent ambassadors for you to hear from directly about their BASIS Independent Manhattan experience. Bring your top questions.
We invite you to join our Open Houses – Register today!
What will a BASIS Independent Manhattan Open House look like?
Doors will open at 9:30 AM, and we encourage families to arrive as close to this time as possible. There will be light refreshments and an opportunity to mingle with our Wildcat Student Ambassadors, Parent Ambassadors, and staff. The event will begin promptly at 10:00 AM (but if you have to arrive later, that is totally fine. We would rather you join us!).
Following a welcome from our leadership, all attendees will receive a schedule tailored to the grade level of interest. Then you will head off to see mini and interactive demonstrations led by our teachers. You will step inside the classrooms to see them come alive. Simultaneously, there will be rooms where you can ask questions and hear about the student experience directly from current families. This portion of the program will continue until 12:00 PM, and we hope that you can stay for the entirety of the event to take full advantage of the experience and leave with a complete understanding of our school, the curriculum, culture, and community.
We look forward to welcoming families and introducing you to a school designed for 21st Century Learning
