[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We needed a good MS option, when DC gets to 9th, we will be going elsewhere where opportunities outside of academics are more prevalent.[/quote]

That is great for your kid and I support any parent trying to meet their kids' needs. However, for the record, BASIS offers a ton of extra-curricular activities such as the following:

Science Bowl,
Certamen,
Debate
Drama
Art in the City,
Cross Country Team
Taekwondo
Fencing
Board Games
Robotics
Everything on the Mall
Soccer
Anime
and lots more![/quote]

Pp here that mentioned we needed a ms option-we all know about the extracurriculars, we get the emails too, and my kid isn't into sports, so the lack of real teams is a non issue. He wants to do a student exchange program and travel, take less time to travel to school, perform in real plays on a stage, learn photography, go to prom, have a real high school experience, and take APs while he does. Nothing wrong with that, but it means that he will eventually leave Basis. Now the silent lunches, lack of breaks and downtime, disrespectful peers and crowded hallways may frustrate him  sometimes, but that is why he will never stay, despite his love of what he is learning.[/quote]
