Rating 3.94 out of 5 63 reviews
BASIS Tucson North is overall an amazing school, with so many opportunities for preparation for college. However, there seems to be a disconnect between the administration and students, which can lead to issues such as a strict technology policy that makes classes such as AP research much more difficult than they should be. Also, the school is great in terms of its STEM and history classes, in which the amazing teachers keep classes engaging and help students actually learn the material. I am so lucky to have been at BASIS for the past years as my school.
I have really enjoyed the advanced classes offered at Basis Tucson North. You have plenty of opportunities to take honors and AP classes that will teach and challenge and prepare you for college.. I've really grown academically because of my school.
I also love their foreign language curriculum. I have taken French for six years. Because of that, I feel confident in my ability to converse with native speakers on a variety of topics. The French teachers are amazing and have taught me a lot.
The only complaint I have about my school is its focus on STEM. There are so many math and science courses available to take, but all of the fine arts programs are very small in comparison. In spite of that, I have had so many amazing experiences taking band and orchestra throughout my years at Basis Tucson North. Although small, the community of students that you make music with is close. Our conductor is amazing. He helps us to unlock our potential with out instruments. It's a really good class.

I have had a positive experience with basis. The curriculum is advanced, and excellent. I have been able to take several AP classes over the years, and do very well on most of them. The teachers are mostly committed to teaching you, and making sure that you are understanding the material. Mostly. There are the occasional few that are there to teach and brag about themselves. Those ones do not care about the students at all, and are universally hated/strongly disliked by students. The students are very tightly knit, and have a community of their own since most of them have known each other since 5th grade. The only downside was homework. It is assigned heavily, without consideration of other classes. And if you miss school for one day, you fall behind FAST, and your pile of homework builds up. If you struggle with school, do not come here, as mental breakdowns are common thanks to homework. But if you are looking for an advanced school, then this is the school for you.
