[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

LOL.  If these are the 16 or so clubs at DCI, I don't think the school blows anyone away:

Seems pretty similar to BASIS DC except the latter doesn't have a dog walking club.[/quote]

16 clubs and 8 sports for quarter 4.  Other offerings in clubs and sports for quarters 1-3.  So yes, totally blows Basis away.  [/quote]

Are you including the DCI Dog Walking Club?

You didn't cite any numbers for BASIS DC and you apparently know nothing about the school, so you obviously have no basis for your statement that DCI's clubs and sports "blow[] Basis away."

In fact, BASIS DC has over 100 clubs, teams, societies, and sports.
