[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't worry abut 5th grade at Basis. The entry year is Basis light. The kids get a lot of academic support and are taught how to stay organized. Things get more intense in 6th grade. Going forward, immersion graduates at Basis won't be allowed to study the target language they learned in elementary school until 8th grade, and then only at an advanced beginner level. You will be on your own to maintain the language. If you bother to do so, your kid won't be able to take challenging courses in that language at Basis. Some Spanish immersion families in the Deal-Wilson pyramid stay in-boundary to keep the immersion going. Wilson has started teaching Spanish literature, past the AP level. At Basis, the emphasis is on advanced math and science, not advanced language.[/quote]
