Explore Term Projects with BIF Bumblebees and Yellow Jackets
We know learners thrive when they have the freedom to explore knowledge outside of the classroom; that learning is most effective when students are empowered with autonomy and engaged by interests and passions interwoven into content spanning discipline and field.
Inspiring students to learn outside the four walls of their classroom and the parameters of a singular subject drives the pedagogy at BASIS Independent Fremont. One of our student’s most beloved examples of this methodology in practice is the tradition of Term Projects Week at our Lower and Upper School campuses. This year, we sat down with our Bumblebees and Yellow Jackets to hear all about their favorite memories and most significant takeaways from our 21-22 Term Project Week.

Wellness: the BASIS Independent Fremont Way

Students today live in a world of ever-growing pressures, distractions, vulnerabilities, and potential pitfalls. As such, our passionate administrative teams work collaboratively to create and implement year-round initiatives, as well as special events that keep our student body on track and focusing on options and opportunities that promote well-being and nurture the development of healthy decision-making skills. One of our community’s most beloved customs, born of these initiatives, is our tradition of Wellness Weeks.

Celebrating Community in a New School Year
With the start of the 2021-2022 school year at BASIS Independent Fremont and many of our young scholars having been out of the traditional classroom environment for the better part of two years, it was clear that our first order of business for the school year needed to be…CELEBRATING! We. Are. Back! And boy, does it feel good to be on campus, engaging IN-PERSON with our talented scholars once again, building up the wonderfully diverse and inclusive community that makes BASIS Independent Fremont unlike any other.
