[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS DC is the best option for any academically minded kid.[/quote]
I think the IB is a much more rigorous program than taking a bunch of AP tests. I think DCI offers much more in terms of sports, clubs, extracurricular, than Basis.[/quote]

+1.  Absolutely agree about IB and wanted to add that it focuses a lot on writing and critical analysis which I believe is very important.  I say that as someone who is in a STEM field.

As to sports, clubs, and extracurriculars there is just no comparison.  DCI blows Basis away.

Also, I want my child to have a good, happy well rounded middle and high school experience like I did, not some pressure cooker, AP focus at the expense of all else.[/quote]

This is why we stuck with DCI too. Some kids thrive with intense academic work and are very happy at Basis. Others, even those who are "gifted," want to continue their language and learn in a different way and also have a broad choice of sports and clubs and a more traditional campus. I think one of my kids would have been okay at Basis but one would have been miserable, so DCI it is.[/quote]
