The Basque School of Boise (in Basque: Boiseko Ikastola) has a curriculum that focuses on the acquisition of the Basque language, and on the development of reading, writing, and mathematics. The classes are designed for Basque and American children, all the subjects are taught in Basque language, which facilitates the learning of young students. Research has shown that exposing children to a second language at an early age gives them an advantage later in life in areas such as math, language and cultural awareness. With a variety of excursions, dance classes and activities, the school offers cultural learning beyond the classroom. The school is located on Broadway Avenue in Boise, Idaho, in the United States of America.
