A School for Fearless Thinkers.
Welcome to a community of passionate learners in Silicon Valley.
At BASIS Independent Silicon Valley, a Transitional Kindergarten through Grade 12 private school, we believe learning is a lifelong practice of pairing discovery and delight with building new skills and knowledge. Supported by expert teachers who encourage them to ask questions and embrace challenges, our students grow into confident, independent thinkers who are capable of more than they imagined.
Growing from Curiosity to Fluency.
Our dedicated teachers inspire students with the support, encouragement, and tools they need to grow. At every stage, students build confidence and essential skills—making each new challenge an opportunity rather than an obstacle. Guided by an intentional balance of challenge and support, they cultivate a love of learning, diligence, and intellectual curiosity.
A Richness Beyond the Classroom.
We promote personal growth and character across every aspect of school life—from academics and athletics to music, fine arts, debate, science and math clubs, and more. These experiences encourage students to explore new interests while building confidence, teamwork, resilience, and leadership. By taking ownership of their passions, students discover new strengths and develop the curiosity and character that will serve them throughout life.
Our Community,
In Our Own Words
“My children have transformed from passive receivers of grades, into accountable leaders of their own growth.”
“They are striking the right balance between high academic expectations and important skills for personal, social, and emotional growth. They create real opportunities for students to bond, have good experiences, and create lasting friendships. This school will truly help create well-rounded, smart, and well-educated college students who will go on to do great things in life.”
“It’s intensely driven but quietly collaborative. Everyone is ambitious, yet genuinely invested in each other’s growth.”
“At BASIS Independent Schools, smart is cool. We constantly evolve with the changing landscape of education and society without compromising our deep commitment to academic excellence. We expect a lot from our students, but we also want them to experience, explore, and enjoy the full high school experience.”
