BASIS Independent Schools is scheduled to open its third private institution in the Bay Area for grades sixth through 12th by fall 2026.
Set to be located at 7950 Dublin Blvd. — the current site of an unoccupied office building — the campus exceeding 150,000 square feet will include science labs, a large gymnasium, music classrooms, dedicated art rooms, a theater and a new 34,257-square-foot outdoor sports field.
Classrooms will be located in the existing building whereas the new sports area and field require construction, expected to last from this month to summer 2026, according to school spokesperson Aaren Rott.
At capacity BASIS Independent Dublin will serve about 800 students, with enrollment planned to begin this August.
Students will be taught using the BASIS curriculum, which is composed of liberal arts and science topics designed to “challenge and inspire,” according to a statement from BASIS Independent.
The Dublin location will join two other Bay Area campuses including BASIS Independent Silicon Valley and BASIS Independent Fremont as well as a global network of K-12 private schools in New York, Northern Virginia, Washington, China and Thailand.
“Our BASIS Independent campuses in Silicon Valley and Fremont have set a high bar for academic excellence, consistently preparing students to excel in competitive university programs and achieve their fullest potential,” BASIS Independent vice president Toby Walker said in a statement. “We are excited to expand our reach into the Dublin community, where families value an exceptional, well-rounded education that equips students for success in a rapidly changing world.”
As the campus takes off, the school intends to hire approximately 35 staff and faculty. The plan is to grow the team to approximately 60 people over the next five years.
“The campus will engage subject expert teachers, who bring passion and expertise to the classroom, and a nurturing environment with student-teacher support and individualized learning plans,” according to the statement.
The resulting educational outcomes reveal a distinguished record of student achievements.
Across the nation, 23% of BASIS Independent students in the class of 2024 were admitted to a top 10 university and 56% were admitted to a top 25 university, based on the U.S. News & World Report rankings.
At the two existing Bay Area locations, 25% of high school seniors qualify as National Merit Scholarship semifinalists. Students at the schools are also recognized in national academic competitions including the National Science Bowl, the Scripps National Spelling Bee and the Regeneron Science Talent Search, according to the statement.
The first virtual information session regarding the BASIS Independent Dublin curriculum, faculty and new campus vision is scheduled for Feb. 22.
