[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nonsense that new admits would necessarily have “trouble catching up.” We left Basis for a suburban GT program with far more humanities rigor and equal rigor for math and science in 6th grade. BASIS parents tend to buy into the program’s exceptionalism hook line and sinker. Silly.[/quote]

This isn't relevant to the original question.  We get it, you don't like BASIS. Please stop your BASIS bashing and hang out on the VA or MD schools forum instead please.

I get that it's not the point of this post but I would agree.  My daughter had two friends transfer from Basis to Deal in 6th and both said that the academics were not a dive off a cliff.  And the kids were light years happier from a social perspective.  [/quote]

That's probably because the focus in 5th grade isn't academics, but organization. 5th grade is the year Basis focuses on getting all the new students on the same level so that they will be prepared to do the Basis curriculum in the years going forward. [/quote]
