[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re a BASIS family with high-achieving kids who could easily afford private but continue to stay at BASIS.  We would definitely not choose Saint Anselms over BASIS.  We are applying to Walls this year, but suspect we will stay at BASIS.  We like the education and the peer group.  [b]And my kids, when repeatedly asked, express a strong desire to stay.[/b]

With respect to music, I get that BASIS doesn’t have a strong instrumental program.  But its music teacher is amazing and one of the best things about the school.[/quote]

New poster. BASIS family with a sixth grader who is happy at the school but also says he does not want to stay for high school. When carpooling friends, his friends have all commented (loudly) at some point about how they don't want to stay for high school. I'm wondering if your kids changed their minds sometime between sixth and eighth grade, or if they always said they wanted to stay.[/quote]

M kids always wanted to go for better art, music and sports and more hands-on learning. I always wanted them to go for a curriculum and teaching that put more emphasis on promoting intellectual curiosity, and more experienced teachers and admins. We told them that they had to suck BASIS up because we couldn't afford both private MS & HS. They did and we've kept our side of the bargain.[/quote]
