BASIS Independent Silicon Valley on CBS This Morning
BASIS Independent Silicon Valley recently hosted the team from CBS This Morning - Saturday, and had the chance to explain how our academic community is just so incredible. There was no one more excited for CBS' visit to campus than our own Mr. Billy Thomas, a The Price Is Right enthusiast turned math teacher, who was thrilled to share his classroom with the team.
Upon reviewing the segment, our Head of School, Mr. Toby Walker, said "I think the CBS News team did a pretty good job of showing the kind of energy our students exhibit and our teachers produce in their classrooms. It was exciting to have them, and the story turned out great!"
Please watch on to learn about the myriad ways our students engage with our rigorous curriculum!
Welcome!
Inspired by the blissful feeling of uncovering connections, our blog Eureka! Silicon Valley is about sharing moments that capture the essence of what it is to be a BASIS Independent student, teacher, administrator, or family.
