[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can any current basis families share more thoughts on the middle school science curriculum? I have a kiddo for whom advanced science is the main draw.[/quote]

Our current 5th grader at BASIS (6th grader next year) loves both math and science…and they’ve done so much more science (hands on and theory) than any middle schooler I know of! I tend to find that the kids that don’t like the environment are not as excited by either math or science. This is not an issue for our child who is definitely STEAM focused as they also love reading, music, playing sports, etc. And there have been lots of afterschool options for kids interested in various topics. I definitely think that the environment wouldn’t be good for every kid, but our child has really thrived in it![/quote]

Goodness, it's all rainbows and kittens at BASIS not just in 5th grade but all the way up!

From what I've observed as a BASIS parent, if you have the dough to leave or are willing to move to the burbs, you leave at some stage. If you don't have the dough for privates, and aren't willing to relocate to the burbs, you stay and make do (possibly claiming that your entire family loves BASIS, loudly). Not more. [/quote]

So why is your family still at BASIS?[/quote]

Can't you guess? We can't afford privates and don't want to move to the burbs. Our eldest has friends at BASIS, didn't crack Walls and was willing to stay for HS. Do we love BASIS?  No.[/quote]
