[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]

My kid attended BASIS MS but didn’t stay for HS, and they would do it again in a heart beat. If your kid is lucky, they will get awesome STEM teachers at BASIS and learn tons about the various sciences, how to study, and how to be organized. Kids work through packets, get weekly HW and tests, learn in a very systematic way. At least, that was my kid’s experience. There are few mediocre science teachers at BASIS, but they are still better than the average science teacher out there. BASIS was able to retain some outstanding teachers, and they alone make it worthwhile. The insane focus on APs and meager ECs in HS is another story.[/quote]

Where did you end up for high school? And if you don't mind sharing, did kid want to stay at BASIS for high school but willing to switch or did kid want to leave or didn't care and was willing to follow parent advice or some other situation?[/quote]

A follow on question from a NP: were math credits accepted as is? If not, did you have to jump through hoops to get them accepted or did your student have to retake classes?[/quote]
