[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is at or above grade level, willing to work hard, and in need of a challenging academic environment, you should give BASIS DC serious consideration.

Note, however, that BASIS lacks sports teams, a gym, a band, etc.[/quote]

Basis does have a rec room where my DC has gym class 4 times a week. Basis has a String Club and offers Choir in music class. It also has soccer, running, flag football, basketball clubs.[/quote]

True.  But is the rec room a real gym?  Are there basketball hoops?  A climbing wall?  Ropes to climb?  Does the String Club constitute a school band?  What does a trumpet player do?  Does the basketball club constitute the BASIS DC basketball team and does it compete against other middle schools in DC?  Is there a baseball club?  Football club?  Tennis club?

Some kids are truly committed to team sports.  Some kids want to play in a school band. For them, BASIS might not be a good fit.

Mind you, I would gladly sacrifice all extracurriculars for a rigorous curriculum and pursue extracurriculars outside of school.  However, not all parents feel that way.[/quote]
