[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don't have a child at Basis, but will be considering it for at least one of our kids.  DCUM is all about sharing our particular experience.  I've never read the posts that describe a child thriving or a child stunting as being indicative of what's necessarily going to happen to MY child, but it's super helpful to hear about all the different experiences.  This forum wouldn't be nearly as valuable if only the positives were reported, but those who had a bad experience never mentioned the reasons why THEIR child failed to thrive.  [/quote]

It is so variable and you don't know until you get there. I have one kid who thrived at BDC through HS, went on to a great college with a significant scholarship and has been surprised by how prepared he is compared to many classmates. The other kid was fine through 7th and went into a tailspin in 8th -- not all because of BASIS, but it didn't help. He went elsewhere for HS and is doing well. Even that one has really good time management and study skills, and is ahead of the curve in science and math, which I do credit to BASIS. [/quote]
