Teach the subjects you love and embrace your individual teaching style with a career at BASIS Ed. With a unique co-teaching model in grades K–3 and a commitment to hiring subject matter experts, we’re a great place to ignite your love for teaching.

“I’m finding that students at BASIS are excited to be at BASIS. They are excited to learn. They’re ready to learn. They want to give their best effort. And that’s not something you’ll find everywhere.”

"My students have hit a critical mass. They are not necessarily smarter than other students, but they are willing to work harder. They are competitive, but they challenge and support each other."

TJ Peacher Subject Expert Teacher, BASIS Scottsdale

“I worked in a public school for five years, and left because I felt frustrated. I was told to do things in my classroom that I did not feel were the best use of my students’ precious time. Today, my students are fully engaged in learning from bell to bell.

"The fact that we set such high expectations from the beginning and do not back down from them is one of the reasons why BASIS Charter Schools have been able to succeed. Students will always respond to the level of expectations you set for them. If you set low expectations, that’s all they will achieve. If you set a high bar, they will climb that high."

Kevin Matthews Subject Expert Teacher, BASIS Tucson North

“I like the kids here, I really do. We’ve got bright kids who work hard and are able to master advanced skills and abilities. They rise up quickly when they are instructed well and challenged.”

Ron Thrasher Subject Expert Teacher, BASIS Peoria

“My favorite part of teaching at BASIS Charter Schools is seeing the children progress and grow every year. I get motivated and excited every year to create fun activities for the kids. I love seeing their curiosity and creativity.”

Adette Sulit Kindergarten Expert Teacher, BASIS Scottsdale Primary East
