[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you can't get at BASIS, OP, are serious extra-curriculars your kid does with classmates. This didn't bother us in 5th grade, but really bothered my kids from around 7th grade. We were running all over town for lonely outside enrichment done with kids mine barely knew. The sports at BASIS aren't too serious and there's obviously no theater for "theater," no music whatsoever, no kiln for pottery, no track for track, no greenhouse for gardening etc. etc. [/quote] I think the enrichment, clubs, sports etc aspect of a school are overrated. So what if BASIS doesn't have a kiln. It has sports and clubs. Mind you, there are only 450 students in grades 5 - 8 compared to 1,500 at Deal MS. It's a bit like parents saying DC is fabulous for what it has to offer but then never visit a museum, gallery or performance in more than a month. [/quote]
