Dec 7 | Basis DC Charter School Info Session @ THEARC
Piping hot from my inbox:
BASIS DC, an exciting new public charter middle/high
school option, will open its doors in August 2012 for 400 students in grades
5-8 (and move up a grade each year after).
There are six BASIS schools in Arizona. BASIS Tucson, the
flagship school, is ranked among the top ten high school programs in the nation
by Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, and The Washington Post.
BASIS DC will offer students the same internationally
competitive liberal arts academic program that earned BASIS Tucson national acclaim
and, unlike many of the nation’s elite academic institutions, it will offer
this top-quality education free-of-charge to all students who wish to enroll.
Our philosophy is simple. We hire teachers who love
children and are experts in their subject matter. We give them the support and
freedom they need to perfect their craft. We teach students the study and organizational
skills early on in middle school so they can take responsibility for their own
education. Finally, we raise the bar for student achievement to internationally
competitive levels and we hold everyone – students, teachers, and managers –
accountable for their results.
Bring your questions and come meet the head of school,
Mary Riner Siddall and new schools development manager Paul Morrissey at a
parent information session in your neighborhood.
