BASIS Independent McLean Recognized Among 2021 Best Schools in VA

BASIS Independent McLean, an age 2–grade 12 private school and home to the world-acclaimed BASIS Curriculum, has been named among the best high schools in Virginia and the Washington, D.C. area, according to Niche’s 2021 Best High School Rankings.

This year, BASIS Independent McLean earned the #2 ranking for Best High Schools for STEM in Virginia while rising to the #3 ranking for Best College Prep Private High Schools in Virginia, and #3 ranking for Best Private K–12 Schools in Virginia. Additionally, the school ranked as the #6 Best Private High School in Virginia.

“In less than five years, we have begun to establish ourselves as an extraordinary learning environment,” said Paul Geise, Head of School at BASIS Independent McLean. “The key to our success: exemplary faculty, motivated students who lean into our robust and rigorous curriculum, and parents eager to have their children prepared to thrive in college and beyond. These rankings mark our progress and our trajectory. And the best is yet to come!”

These results are an exceptional feat given the program has just begun its fifth year and the class of 2021 represents only the school’s second graduating class—it is a true reflection of its mission to raise the standard of learning to the highest international levels.
