[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone whose child attended for at least two years weigh in with their kid's experience at BASIS?  I've heard from parents who accepted and then declined (so, I'm not giving their view any weight since they never actually attended), and parents who have been there for one year.  Would really like to hear from people with some actual experience (and didn't leave after one year).  Thanks![/quote]

Yes - very happy with experience! Very impressed with curriculum - they learn "real stuff" very early (i.e. in the sciences). I have checked out almost all schools (public/private) in DC and this seems to be the most advanced with respect to challenging academics.

Two very different kids....
Kid 1 (4 yr at BASIS) - sails through everything - he was bored at his previous school - decided that we needed to find the "hardest" school (without moving out of DC)...Voila - Kid 1 is challenged!

Kid 2 (2 yr at BASIS) - difficult time in elementary school - average/below average - I agonized about decision - took the leap...Kid 2 has benefitted greatly from the structure - learned to be organized and doing well above average!
