[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle school at Basis (or as they call it, "lower school") ends before 8th-8th is the first upper school grade. [/quote] Yep. 5,6,7 is basically middle school there, and 8-11 is high school. 12th is optional, and highly specialized. It's meant to be an accelerated school for everyone in attendance.[/quote] Wait, what? Really? Optional? I know nothing about Basis other than what I read here but I've never heard this. I don't want my kid going to college at 17! (I did, and I kind of regret it.)[/quote] 12th grade is optional at BASIS, if you have met all of the graduation requirements by the end of 11th. That said, the school does not encourage kids to leave early for college. Instead, it encourages use all or part of that year for academic enrichment, e.g., work on a senior project, take an internship, study abroad. [/quote]
