[quote=Anonymous]Basis is not for children who want to have a semblance of a life of normalcy and extracurricular activities. It can work but if and only if your child and your family are extremely organized, have rigid schedules with time built into being able to complete all the homework required as your child goes through the upper levels. I would suggest allowing your child to focus on extracurricular activities or building volunteering hours which can lead to a scholarship and/or admissions at a top school. Do colleges like rigorous courses ? Yes, but you know what they want even more? Something different, like maybe he studied aviation in a HS magnet program and wants to use this set of skills to one day deliver medicine by air to impoverished countries -- and aforementioned said kid volunteer in an impoverished shelter 2-3 times a month.

Stories like this compel college admissions officers. to grant a yes, not a monotonous drain of academic courses with not much else in sight.

I'd focus on DC magnets, the DCI language track or suburban magnets. [/quote]
