    From BASIS Independent McLean

    When students love to learn, they excel! At BASIS Independent McLean (BIM), we seek to empower your child with a well-rounded education - one that encourages curiosity, exploration, and discovery as we prepare each child for the next step in their educational journey.

    BIM, home of the Red-Tailed Hawks, is an age 2–grade 12 private school that raises the standards of learning to the highest international levels in a liberal arts and STEM-focused curriculum benchmarked to the top education systems worldwide. Passionate educators with subject-specific expertise inspire students to love learning and develop the knowledge, confidence, and autonomy to be successful in school and beyond.

    We believe that students can do more than what is typically expected of them and create a joyful learning culture where hard work is celebrated and intellectual pursuits result in extraordinary outcomes. At BIM, we will challenge each child to realize their full potential as they prepare to soar!
