STEM schools could be advantageous for girls and boys alike. CBS This Morning examines just what the advantages are, looking specifically at what makes BASIS schools so special. Started in 1998, there exist 31 BASIS schools across America.

BASIS utilizes unusual methods of teaching for example, such as turning math lessons into The Price is Right. The result is that learning becomes fun. It makes learning more fun for kids.

BASIS demands that students take seven courses that are advanced, beginning at eighth year. They must pass the tests using higher standards than currently set national standards for learning. They are then prepared for college as well as the difficulties of working.

STEM teachers at private STEM schools are experts in their field. BASIS expects a lot from its students, but ensures that students get extra assistance in order to understand and finish its difficult courses. Private schools offer smaller classes, which means that teachers can spend more time with students. j6s7h51rbd.
