BASIS DC opened in 2012 as the first BASIS Charter School outside of Arizona. Our 600 students in grades 5–12 travel from all eight Wards to our downtown campus, which is steps away from the National Mall and Smithsonian museums. We are proud to be part of the BASIS Charter Schools network which has been providing world-class education since 1998. Our campuses follow a STEM-infused, liberal arts program designed to propel your student farther than they ever thought possible.
