[quote=Anonymous]Maybe OP's bright, intellectually curious kid just isn't ready for a high pressure curriculum as an 11 year-old. I wouldn't have been (though I landed at an Ivy 7 years later). Every kid isn't cut out for a school without a gym, outdoor space or library, with loud, narrow hallways jammed with teenagers and a cheerless lunchroom (without windows, where the walls are black and gray). There are good things about BASIS, but it's just not a great building or atmosphere for 5th graders. If the kid has been unhappy there since the summer, sounds like time to bail. [/quote]
