Students quickly learn that their growth, both academic and personal, is something the whole school takes seriously. That hard work here is met with real support, not just high expectations. Families, teachers, and administrators function as one team focused on each child’s success, and that shared effort shows up in the details: weekly teacher office hours, a peer tutoring center open Monday through Friday, and a campus culture that’s curious, warm, and genuinely invested in every student who walks through the door.

Students at BASIS Independent Bothell are encouraged to explore interests beyond the classroom through clubs, athletics, music, competitions, and other activities shaped by student interests and faculty expertise. As our school community grows, so do the opportunities available, creating a vibrant campus experience where students can pursue new passions, develop leadership skills, and build meaningful connections alongside their academic studies.

BASIS Independent Bothell and BASIS Charter Schools share the same proven educational approach, refined since 1998. BASIS Independent Schools differ in offering a lower student-to-teacher ratio, private campus facilities, and a tuition-based, selective admissions process.

Great teaching starts with genuine expertise and a passion for helping students grow. That’s why BASIS Independent Bothell hires subject-matter experts who bring deep knowledge of the disciplines they teach, along with a commitment to inspiring curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Many of our teachers come from university, college-preparatory, research, or professional backgrounds, bringing real-world experience into the classroom. Just as importantly, we look for educators who connect with students, encourage thoughtful questions, and challenge them to think deeply while providing the support they need to succeed.

Our hiring process reflects those high standards. Final candidates teach a live demonstration lesson, giving students an opportunity to experience their teaching firsthand. Student feedback is an important part of our evaluation because meaningful learning begins with strong relationships between teachers and students.
