Developed to foster intellectual curiosity, and to showcase the knowledge and skills your student has acquired, the student-designed Senior Project is the culmination of the BASIS Charter Schools Curriculum. The Senior Project gives your student the opportunity to graduate with high honors, and to differentiate themselves from others in their field of study when applying to universities.
Your student will be conducting high-level, off-campus research on an approved topic with subject matter that mirrors their own academic and professional goals. Unlike other internship or study programs, your student is not limited to location, or type of research site. They can team up with corporations, agencies, research facilities, and entrepreneurs, either nationally or internationally. In addition to an onsite mentor, your student will also be collaborating with a BASIS faculty member. Your student’s compiled research and findings will be published, and they will return to campus to present an analysis to peers, parents, and faculty.
The experience and edge that the BASIS Diploma Senior Project offers your student will follow them throughout their academic and professional lives.
Check out some of the exceptional projects created by BASIS students throughout the BASIS Charter Schools network.
BASIS Charter School seniors team up with corporations, entrepreneurs, agencies, and researchers across a myriad of fields nationally and internationally. However, this is not the average internship, as BASIS Charter School students bring an exceptional level of expertise to the entities they support. While the average BASIS Charter School student will have completed six AP classes prior to acceptance into the Senior Project program, it is the program itself that sets students apart to the most prestigious universities in the world, and differentiates them from other students their age.
The BASIS Diploma Senior Project program was developed to help students foster valuable insight about utilizing their knowledge in the real world while maintaining a sense of intellectual curiosity during the research-and-application process. Senior Projects require students to work at a public or private-sector institution or to enroll in a college or university’s external study program. Ultimately, the students present their research and findings to the school community, parents, and guests. The internship or study program is typically related to the course of study the student intends to pursue following high school graduation.
