Basis Scottsdale School
This site's material is outdated. Classrooms have as many as 12 different religions represented - 80% of kids are not white. The school moved 3 years ago to a bigger facility.
BASIS is an excellent academic school for kids, and parents, who are up to the challenge. It is especially good for people who don't like public school red-tape and refuse to conform to mediocrity.
