[quote=Anonymous]I've been to a BASIS information session, and I am very interested in it for my 4th grader. I think my child would love the math and science curriculum, and honestly, the commute to BASIS would be a whole lot shorter and easier than the commute to Latin. I have not yet been to a Latin Open house, but I do have friends with older children who attend the school and really like it so I know a little bit about it. I did put an application in earlier this month for Latin.

So after reading the most recent thread about BASIS, here's my main question...is Latin so different than BASIS in terms of academic rigor and high expectations? Wouldn't families that are attracted to Latin be attracted to BASIS for the same reasons? Again, I know I need to go to a Latin Open House and ask questions, but what happens when a student doesn't do well at Latin? Do they leave? Is the curriculum differentiated/tracked according to ability? Do students take AP exams and how well do they do on them?
