That is great for your kid and I support any parent trying to meet their kids' needs. However, for the record, BASIS offers a ton of extra-curricular activities such as the following:

Science Bowl,
Certamen,
Debate
Drama
Art in the City,
Cross Country Team
Taekwondo
Fencing
Board Games
Robotics
Everything on the Mall
Soccer
Anime
and lots more![/quote]

I don;t care what this booster says, because they are completely missing the point
I really want to know the truthful answer to a simple question:

If your 8th or 9th grader left, where did they go? and more importantly why did they leave?
That is the only question I put on the table - not a list of what we have to offer as extra curriculars,any idiot would know that if you are trying to be recruited for college you cannot stay here'
but I don't think the kids who left were real prospects for college football, lax, whatever

please ignore the noise and answer my question if you know
my child was told at the Expo wth SWW that he would have to retake World History, for example
that child of mine did not care a whit because they are unhappy

if students hate Basis so much that they are willing to give up all their credits, we have an anonomous forum for you to please tell us why you left.  And for students in the upper school (8th), it is really important for us to know where you went, how you landed, and how you feel now.  Since so many students left, I am not sure you have to worry about anyone identifying your child, but the question is important, as is the answer..............
