Celebrating Science at BASIS Independent Fremont
Science is more than a subject in school. It is more than a career path. Science is a way of thinking, an analytical process-driven way of looking at the world. Science is a worldview fixed upon progress, intellectual humility, and evolving knowledge. This month, the students of BASIS Independent Fremont flexed their science muscles at the BIF Science Fair and STEM Fest. With hundreds of parents in attendance, students from kindergarten to grade 5 showcased projects spanning many branches of science.

The Magic Behind BIF’s Operations Team
Behind every stunning Broadway performance or Nascar photo finish, there is a team dedicated to navigating obstacles and pushing their common vision toward realization or beyond to even greater heights. At BASIS Independent Fremont, that group is our Operations Team. From tightening the literal nuts and bolts of the school to safeguarding the health of our community, the Operations department is our figurative “man behind the curtain,” creating moments of magic for students and staff every day. We sat down with the Lower School Operations team to pull the curtain back and hear, in their own words, how this magic is made.
Welcome!
Inspired by the blissful feeling of uncovering connections, our blog Eureka! Fremont is about sharing moments that capture the essence of what it is to be a BASIS Independent student, teacher, administrator, or family.
