[quote=Anonymous]My DC attended BASIS in 6th and 7th. He was super into sciences, and it was a great fit from that perspective as he could study Chem, Physics and Bio, plus there was the ability to rework all assignments, leading to a high GPA. The teachers were truly amazing. However, the Pre-Comp and Comp system was tough. Needing to study for full-year finals in all subjects was brutal, and even my son, who is not a high-stress kid, was stressed out by this approach. I think it would be very hard for kids who are anxious. Plus he could not pursue his national sport well, as BASIS required meetings in person with teachers to review all missed work; these meeting were on very specific days (Tuesdays after school at the time) and it was impossible to get through the content of an entire missed Friday. So we wound up long story short leaving for a private that was a better fit overall.[/quote]
