[quote=Anonymous]BASIS isn't "Asian" style academics, I'm not sure why people keep trying to make that connection. It's more European style academics. They have a strong focus on math and science but also are big on classical liberal arts education. Our 5th grader has classics and latin, they also teach physical geography and other subjects for 5th. I am also looking forward to history and other classes. DC also gets Art and Music, and the gym class is Taekwondo. Drama is an extracurricular, as are Robotics, Chess and a number of other activities. As far as "math gifted" goes, BASIS does have some of their more advanced 5th graders in Algebra I, so they can advance and accelerate as needed - more so than most schools in the area.[/quote]
