We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

BASE is not as dangerous as other schools but the 5 floor trek up the stairs and the many vacant slots of teachers make it a hard learning environment, while the teachers are friendly many of the students are not and often times you will see fights occur between students outside of the campus

Overall, this is a really great school with dedicated staff not afraid to take up a challenge if it's best for students. The students are at the heart of the school and that's pretty seen throughout all aspects of learning here.
