[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People. Basis curriculum is such that students complete all graduation requirements by 11th grade. They are done with high school then. Graduated.  12th grade is fashioned as a capstone year/project and is voluntary

That's from 2014-15. Newer language here explains the upper school curriculum. More students are staying, in part because it's harder to get into college if you only attend high school for 3 years. http://www.basised.com/academics/curriculum/grades-8-12-curriculum/

"The accelerated curriculum allows BASIS Curriculum students the option of graduating after grade 11; however, most students choose to continue their studies in grade 12. The senior year at BASIS Curriculum Schools is a unique opportunity to do advanced work and students consistently report that the senior year has a profound impact on their post-secondary education and career plans. All seniors take an interactive College Counseling workshop. Qualified seniors may complete the AP Capstone program or take BASIS Capstone courses, which are comparable to 200 and 300 level college courses, for two trimesters. In the last trimester, these students may conduct an intensive, off-campus research project related to their academic or career goals."[/quote]
