[quote=Anonymous]We have a kid in 7th now and he’s doing great academically and likes his friends and classmates. However, I’ve started to wonder whether a different environment for high school might be better for him—one that provides more sports and clubs and would allow him to advance his language skills. He’ll stay at BASIS for 8th grade but we might move him in high school. I think he’ll be well-prepared for high school wherever he ends up. Or maybe he’ll want to stay for high school.

We also have a younger child and will not be sending him to BASIS. It would not be a good fit because he is a totally different kid and a different student. He doesn’t have strong executive functioning skills—something I think is critical at BASIS due to the volume of work and material being taught. He isn’t ready for the level of independence kids need at BASIS. As much as I’d love for my kids to be at the same school again, it’s more important to us to find a place where the youngest can live up to his potential. [/quote]
