BASIS

Founded in 1998 by economists Michael Block and Olga V. Block in Tucson, BASIS began with a clear goal: to challenge students academically and prepare them for university and life beyond school. Their approach combined a demanding curriculum with teachers who genuinely cared about student success. At BASIS Prague, students now follow the same rigorous curriculum used in the US network. Benchmark tests from 2024 showed that BASIS Prague students perform at a similar level to their peers in American BASIS schools, especially in math and science. The Elementary School will move to the new campus in September 2026, with the High School opening in September 2029. The renovated main building will include specialized classrooms, laboratories, and a library, while the new expansion will feature a gym and core classrooms. The campus will also have a large garden with an outdoor auditorium, playground, and dining terrace.
