Below are some of the most common questions about our program. We know that you are bound to have more questions—please contact us. We’re here to help.

The curriculum at BASIS Independent Bothell is challenging; how do I know my student will succeed?

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.

Does BASIS Independent Bothell have a referral program?

What resources are available at BASIS Independent Bothell for students with special academic needs?

While BASIS Independent Bothell does not offer a dedicated special education program, we work closely with families to understand each student’s individual needs. Our school counselor, teachers, and administrators have experience supporting students with appropriate learning accommodations and are committed to helping every student succeed within our academically ambitious program.

Because every child’s situation is unique, we encourage you to contact our Admissions team to discuss your student’s needs and whether BASIS Independent Bothell is the right fit.

What’s the difference between BASIS Independent Schools and BASIS Charter Schools?

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.

What is the teacher selection process at BASIS Independent Bothell?

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.

What is the age cutoff for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten at BASIS Independent Bothell?
