Are Advanced Placement (AP) courses required at BASIS?

Yes, and not just as an optional side quest. AP courses are baked right into the BASIS Upper School experience. Most students kick things off in Grade 9, and by the time they graduate, many have taken 10 or more AP exams. It’s not about chasing college credit for bragging rights. It’s about diving deep into advanced material, building real academic confidence, and developing college-level thinking while still in high school. The AP lineup at BASIS is wide and ambitious, covering subjects from Calculus to Psychology to Art History. Students don’t just take APs—they live them, question them, and master them.
