About BaSix Knowledge Academy
Known as two schools in one, BaSix offers a K-12 Academy that caters to the high achiever as well as the student who has academic deficiencies. The challenging yet diverse curriculum follows the Georgia Performance Standards while allowing students to develop critical reading and writing skills.

The Independent Study Program is part two of the school and designed for students 16 and older who didn’t pass the graduation test or after some years of dropping out realizing they want to finally work towards a high school diploma. These students work from home to earn credits.

The school is not populated with the traditional private school students who have financially wealthy parents. These students are privileged to attend BaSix by way of scholarships funded through donations.
