Language Curriculum
The Bas-BASIC language curriculum accommodates students at all levels Bas-BASIC of English proficiency, from beginning through high advanced, and emphasizes all four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

All instruction at all levels Bas-BASIC is done in English.
