We considered BASIS DC when moving out here but decided to go with FCPS with the consideration of possibly applying to TJ.  We anticipated a significant lightening of the workload for the remainder of 6th grade but we were somewhat surprised that my DD was denied admission to the AAP program at her school, even though she clearly demonstrated ability to handle advanced academics. Now she seems kind of bored. Go figure.

Good luck to those at BASIS DC. [/quote]

You could still try and get on the wait list for next year at Basis DC and relocate to DC :wink: [/quote]

But if BASIS is so terrific, why bother with TJ?  Because the DC program is new?  And if the prep was so much stronger than even the accelerated public school norm, as the boosters claim here adnauseum, why couldn't your girl test into a gifted MS program in Fairfax?  A nephew in VA tested in this year, although he's no genius, and hadn't taken biology, physics, ethics, Latin etc. beforehand.  He isn't even taking algebra in 7th so he can focus on sports and music.
