[quote=pbraverman][quote=Anonymous]Peter- thanks for your information. They make it seem like they have more recess time than other schools (3 is more than we currently have at our school but they do stay outside longer than 15 minutes).

We're currently at a small Montessori school and are transitioning simply because the school is too small (socially) and eventually need to transition to a more "traditional" school at some point.

We're looking for small class sizes, close proximity (we live in Vienna), character education and a sense of community. We do want a place where the kids will be challenged, but not stressed out and we value a broad education- humanities, arts and not only STEM. We want them to continue to love school as much as they do now and not "burn out" before they get to college.

Would you suggest another school in the area or am I asking for too much? The only reason we haven't looked at our public schools is because we were concerned about class sizes.

Maybe it would be better if I contacted you offline?

I would still appreciate input from current BASIS families on their personal experiences with the school/teachers/admin.

Hi there. I'd be happy to talk further if you'd like to shoot me a note. If you have a DCUM account, you can send me a Private Message, or use the email in my disclaimer.

Cheers,
