[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I posted the above and wrote nothing about “crowding out real learning of biological concepts.” Anyway, I’m 100% certain that my child is learning more science at Basis than at any other school available to us. Frankly, what she’s learning is impressive. But if you want to send your kid to our IB go for it![/quote] My kid is only in 7th, but from what I've seen, 7th+8th grade bio covers everything that would be covered in a regular (not Honors and not AP) high school bio class. Likewise, 7th+8th chemistry and physics classes cover all of the material in a high school level class. While there are some bits of rote memorization, the course as a whole isn't based on that. I've been pleased with the science. Most public middle school science courses are reading about science and memorizing things about science. They aren't actually doing science. BASIS has been much better. [/quote]
