A group of elite private schools in Manhattan and Brooklyn is owned by a company headed by a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party.
Basis Independent Schools, which has two campuses in each borough, charges up to $44,500 a year and boasts that its graduates “gain entry into some of the world’s most prestigious colleges.”
Its Basis grades 3-12 school in Red Hook, Brooklyn, was ranked among the best college prep schools in private school rankings by Niche.
The other three schools are its pre-K-to-grade 2 school in downtown Brooklyn, pre-K-to-grade 5 on the Upper West Side, and grades 6-12 in Chelsea.
In 2019, the schools’ founders sold the schools and their parent company, national chain Spring Education Group, to Primavera Capital Group, based in Hong Kong.
