Grades K-4 Public Charter School | BASIS Tucson Primary

BASIS Tucson Primary is the original BASIS Charter School for primary students, kindergarten through grade 4. The curriculum and methodology first developed here laid the foundation for the entire BASIS Charter Schools network. Our rigorous and accelerated curriculum engages students in hands-on, dynamic lessons in literacy, humanities, math, and science as well as in an array of special courses: engineering, Mandarin, visual arts, drama, and music.
