Grade 6 Student Ambassador
Starting middle school is an exciting milestone, and at BASIS Independent Bothell, we make sure every student feels supported as they take on new challenges.
To give you an inside look at life in Grade 6, we spoke with one of our Student Ambassadors, Linyue, who shared her favorite parts of school, how she adjusted to academics, and her advice for new students.

A: Definitely the community! It feels like being part of a big family where everyone is supportive and kind. Teachers and classmates are always ready to help, and that makes learning so much more enjoyable.
Q: How did you adjust to middle school academics?
A: At first, it was a big change, but I found a routine that works for me: study for about an hour and review every day. It keeps me on track and makes learning feel less overwhelming. It’s amazing how much easier things feel when you stay consistent. Plus, our teachers make learning fun and interactive, so it never feels boring!
Q: What’s your favorite subject and why?
A: I love Chemistry and Physics because they challenge me to think in new ways. English is also a favorite because it pushes me to think creatively and express myself better.
Q: What extracurricular activities do you enjoy?
A: Basketball! I love the energy of the game and how it brings everyone together after school. It’s the perfect way to connect with friends outside the classroom.
Q: Any advice for new students joining Grade 6?
A: Stay focused and listen to your teachers. They’re here to help you succeed. And don’t forget to enjoy the experience and explore! Join clubs, try new activities, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Middle school is full of opportunities to learn and grow, so make the most of it!
